A Germany-based Turkish company won the tender to set up North Atlantic
Treaty Organization (NATO) radio stations as part of the current
restructuring of Afghanistan. A total of eight international companies
participated in the tender. Antensan, the winner of the tender, will set
up 25 stations in Afghanistan. The project is worth 5 million euros and
is planned to be completed in three months. 

“NATO chose to work with us. After completing this project, we will
work on much bigger projects for NATO,” said Jürgen Jif, Antensan
Technical Director. The company has plans to build a midsize transmitter
on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, said Jif, adding that the station
will be for Afghanistan Radio and Television Corporation (RFT).
