Voxcasting has introduced a new radio streaming server dedicated to Ugandan broadcasters.

According to Ms. Justine Basirika, the Managing Director of Voxcasting while unveiling the server, the move was done to help Ugandan broadcasters gain more internet visibility by helping them get a more customized radio streaming service that meets the current quality of internet services in Uganda which is characterized with a high latency.

Ms. Basirika noted that the high cost of internet and the high network latency affects the quality of streaming in Uganda thereby discouraging the consumption of streaming services. The technology deployed by Voxcasting will reduce the cost of internet data consumption thereby saving money to the Ugandan user.

“The server is installed with a technology that highly compresses the audio content picked from the studio thereby allowing a high speed upload and temporarily saves it on the server to allow the listener pick it without any delay. It makes the quality of the content to be even clearer than that picked via an ordinary radio set”, Ms. Basirika clarified.

The assigned server to Ugandan broadcasters will be hosted on ug1, ug2, ug3 and ug4. For instance those on server ug4 will be connecting via host ug4.voxcasting.com and each radio station will be connected to the server using a port identified by unique numbers.

Our target is to reduce service breakdown by 99.9% thereby providing a high quality streaming service for Ugandan broadcasters. The service will be rolled out to all broadcasters in Uganda starting first February 2024.

Ms. Catherine Birungi, the quality control Manager at Bookablehood, a company owning the voxcasting brand welcomed this as one of the moves by the company to commit to its policy of delivering high quality services to its customers. Bookablehood Ltd is an ISO 9001:2015 certified company.

PRESIDENT MUSEVENI URGES EUROPEAN INVESTORS TO TAP INTO UGANDA’S ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES 

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has urged European investors to take advantage of Uganda’s economic opportunities, particularly in infrastructure, energy, manufacturing and agriculture, saying investment in productive sectors is key to expanding markets, creating jobs and accelerating economic transformation.    The President made the remarks today at State House Entebbe during a meeting with European Union Ambassadors and investors, where he highlighted Africa’s growing population and expanding market as a major opportunity for European businesses seeking investment and stronger economic partnerships. “This is what we have been advising our European friends to look at, because Africa is a big potential market with its fast-growing population,” he said. President Museveni attributed political instability in some African countries partly to identity-based politics, including tribalism, religious divisions and ideological misunderstandings, as well as a failure to appreciate the role of the private sector in driving economic growth. He said Uganda had learnt from these challenges and emphasised the need for a stable political and economic environment that enables private businesses to invest, expand production and create employment. The President welcomed ongoing and proposed European investments in Uganda, particularly in infrastructure and other productive sectors, saying such projects would strengthen economic links between Uganda and the European market. “All these projects are music to my ears. By constructing these projects here, you are linking the market of Uganda to that of Europe. Why can’t anyone see that?” he asked. On energy, President Museveni said the cost of electricity remained a critical factor in Uganda’s competitiveness, particularly for manufacturers seeking to produce goods at affordable prices. While welcoming private-sector investment in hydropower generation, he called for greater attention to electricity tariffs, arguing that affordable power was essential for industrial expansion and economic growth. He identified affordable electricity, railway transport and accessible financing for productive investments as key priorities for strengthening Uganda’s manufacturing sector. The President cited the Uganda Development Bank as an important source of financing for businesses engaged in productive activities, explaining that the government had retained the institution to support investments capable of expanding production and creating jobs. He also urged the European Investment Bank to channel more financing into strategic infrastructure, particularly railway development, electricity generation and distribution, and selected road projects. On road infrastructure, President Museveni encouraged European investors to explore opportunities in construction and financing models, including tolling arrangements where appropriate. The President also reaffirmed the government’s support for tax incentives aimed at attracting investment, particularly in manufacturing, and emphasised the importance of enabling eligible businesses to benefit from a 10-year tax holiday. ...
