5G in Bangladesh will be Launched Soon


Posts and Telecommunications Minister Mustafa Jabbar has said that 5G in Bangladesh will be launched through Teletalk on National Information and Communication Technology Day on 12th December or Great Victory Day on 16th December this year. He made the remarks while addressing a webinar titled '5G Ecosystem in Bangladesh and Upcoming Technologies' organized by Telecom Reporters Network Bangladesh-TRNB on 25 September, 2021.

5G services, which are able to deliver data speeds up to 50 times faster than 4G networks and serve as critical infrastructure for a range of industries. According to the posts and telecommunications minister, there would be no need to set up new towers or base transceiver stations (BTS) for the 5G network.

The Minister of Telecommunications said, "We have become confident by conducting successful tests of 5G." Where other countries are not thinking of rolling out, we are rolling out 5G. Time is needed to create the kind of environment that is needed to use 5G wireless technology.

"I will start the five-day rollout on December 12, National Information and Communication Technology Day or December 16, the Great Victory Day," he said. We will launch Five G with a conducive environment in hand. He also said the government has decided to auction FiveG spectrum within this years.

Mr. Mustafa Jabbar said, "We are not launching 5G in a hurry." Let those who have partners take advantage and let our people also take advantage of it. 90% of the demand is produced in Bangladesh. I don't think I was in awe of the sets. Mentioning that if 5G is introduced, the lifestyle will change, the minister said, new technologies will come. People need to be motivated when it comes to technology. In this case, people need to be made aware. The industrial factories should be prepared for the future technologies.

Speaking as the special guest on the occasion, BTRC Chairman Shyam Sundar Sikder said that 5G is being launched in the country through Teletalk this year. Preparations have been made for this. AKM Shahiduzzaman, BTRC commissioner and chairman of the 5G policy formulation and implementation committee, said 5G in Bangladesh would be launched in Dhaka within 2021 through Teletalk. The spectrum auction has been completed a few days ago which has created a balance. We will be able to provide services with the spectrum of any band. The BTRC commissioner also said that mobile phone manufacturers have been instructed to have a set that supports 5G.


A new project approved by the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (ECNEC) yesterday. Around Tk 2,200 crore project aims to take Teletalk's 4G network to rural areas and upgrade the existing core and transmission networks line to make it ready for the launch of 5G technology. The main activities of the project are to set up 500 private BTS and 2,500 shared towers, enhance the capacity of the existing 2,000 BTS, install 200 mobile BTS, and upgrade existing 1,000 2G and 3G BTS to 4G. "We will install 5G equipment on these BTS," said Mr. Jabbar, adding that once the just approved project was implemented, user capacity of Teletalk would be double.

Saheb Uddin, managing director (MD) of Teletalk, said that 5G in Bangladesh is going to be launched by December. There is that preparation. 5G will require handset capacity, fiber optic. Society will be transformed through this wireless technology. 5G will work in the field of medical, RMG, agriculture. We will initially launch 200 sites in Dhaka city, 5G equipment will be set up in these points. We will also go where the fiber optic connection will be smooth.

Eric Os Chairman of Banglalink and AMTOB, Yasir Ajman CEO of Grameenphone, Riaz Rashid Acting CEO of Robi, Taoguanzio Chief Operating Officer of Huawei, Abdus Salam Country Manager of Ericsson spooked on the occasion.

Bangladesh will Launch an Earth Observation Satellite


Work is underway to start work on Bangladesh's second artificial satellite very soon after it is finalized. The country's second satellite after Bangabandhu-1 will be an 'Earth Observation Satellite', which will help in surveying the vast oceans, including surveying the country's crop production and flood situation by taking live pictures of the land surface. Bangladesh Communication Satellite Company Limited - BCSCL, hopes that the government will be able to launch the country's second satellite in the current term. The government is considering buying and launching this satellite in the G2G (Government-to-Government) process.

Earth Observation Satellites are used to take pictures of different parts of the Earth's surface and to observe the Earth's surface. The country's first commercial satellite Bangabandhu-1 is a 'geostationary communication' satellite, which is only used for communication.

The BCSCL chairman said, “An agreement was reached with the French consulting firm Price-Water House Coopers for the launch of the country's second satellite. Based on the report of the consulting firm, we have decided that the second satellite will be Earth Observation Satellite." He said the satellite would provide various benefits, adding that it would help monitor the country's crop production, flood monitoring and monitoring the country's vast oceans.


Apart from working in the country, there is also an opportunity to earn money with this satellite. As the Middle East and Africa will be covered by the satellite, it will be possible to earn income by selling various data from those areas. Because not all countries have this type of satellite. In addition to geostationary communication satellites, there are different satellites for various purposes including communication, remote sensing, navigation, geocentric orbit type, polar satellites.

The main consultant for the design of the system of the country's first artificial satellite Bangabandhu-1 was the US-based 'Space Partnership International'. After that, the satellite system was bought from the French company Talis Elenia Space under a contract worth Tk 1,951.85 crore. On 12 May 2018, the Bangabandhu-1 satellite launched from the launch pad of the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, USA. Bangladesh is the 57th country to launch a satellite. Six months after its launch, in November 2018, Bangladesh fully acquired the ownership and control of Bangabandhu Satellite-1.


The cost of launching this time will be less than what was spent to launch Bangabandhu-1. There will be no cost after the launch of the second one. It will not be necessary to rent orbital slots. It will not be too high above the surface. The cost of renting the slot will be saved. It is also called LEO or Low Earth Orbit Satellite (LEO satellite).

Bangabandhu-1 was located 36,000 km away from the launch site. Bangabandhu-1 satellite is addressed in an orbital slot at 119.1 East longitude. Bangladesh has leased the slot from the Moscow-based Inter-sputnik International Organization of Space Communications for 45 years.
