The SBC says the new transmitters targets listeners in South Mahe.
The transmitter carrying the BBC signal will be operating on 30 watts for the moment, although SBC says it plans to increase this to 250 Watts at a later time. The RFI service is already operating on 250 Watts and will be noticeably better.
