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.

100 Million Dollar in a Year | Free Lancers in Bangladesh


More than 5 lac free-lancer entrepreneurs in Bangladesh are working in the online markets and earning around 100 million US dollars a year. In a letter sent to the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology is seeking incentive at the rate of 10 percent on the foreign exchange earnings of this potential sector.

Junaid Ahmed Palak, Minister of State in the concerned ministry, sent a semi-official letter to Commerce Minister Tipu Munshi on June 3 stating that cash incentives at the rate of 10 percent have been provided for exports of software, ITES and hardware in 2018 to boost exports in the ICT sector. Later which has been implemented through a circular number-3 issued by the Bangladesh Bank on February, 2018.

The circular mentions some services or products on the list of export assistance recipients, which, despite being performed by free-lancers but they don’t receive this incentive at the individual level. The letter said that if the income of the free-lancers was considered as a potential export sector and brought under cash assistance, more foreign exchange would come to the country through banking channels in a legal way.


Commerce Minister Tipu Munshi said that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has recently given instructions on the recognition of freelancers. According to him, the government is working on their benefits. The rationale for incentives on export earnings of free-lancers as a potential sector will also be examined.

ICT officials said that incentive facility is being given at the rate of 2 percent of Bangladeshi expatriate income. As a result, a large number of expatriates are sending foreign currency to the country through banking channels legally, which is contributing positively to economic growth. The corona epidemic has also brought a record amount of expatriate income to the country, which has allowed reserve money to be invested in large projects as well as lending to a neighboring country.

Similarly, ensuring income incentives for freelance workers will further increase foreign exchange reserves, which will help the country's economic development. Concerned parties say that after sending a letter to the finance ministry earlier emphasizing the importance of free-lancing sector, the ministry advised that the approval of the commerce ministry would be required for cash assistance in the export sector.

Then on June 3, the State Minister for Information and Communication Technology wrote a letter to the Commerce Minister in this regard. According to ICT officials, there is a lot of demand for Web Design and Development, App Development, Smartphone Apps, Graphic Design, Drop Shipping, UI / UX (user interface design), Article writing, Virtual Assistance etc. Online marketplaces also have a lots chance to work from home.


Besides, the job demand of Bangladeshi freelancers is increasing day by day as compared to competing countries like India and Sri Lanka. In addition to earning valuable foreign exchange, free-lancing is also playing a role in creating employment in the country through private enterprises. Besides, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is giving special importance to this sector as free-lancing can be done at home with the help of a computer or laptop with internet connection without any major investment

On November 2021, the Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina inaugurated the ID card issuance program to bring free-lancer entrepreneurs on a platform to recognize their profession. This ID card will be able to verify the legal validity and amount of foreign exchange earned by freelancers.

 

Thanks,

SEA ME WE 6 | Bangladesh will Connect with New Submarine Cable



Bangladesh is going to be connected with the third submarine cable for the development and to provide better Internet services in the country using 5G technology. The government expects that the connected submarine cable will be a milestone in economic development and growth in the age of communication technology. The government will sign an agreement to join the international SEA-ME-WE-6 consortium in April 2020.

Bangladesh will have access to the main cable of the submarine from June 2023. It will meet the demand of the Internet bandwidth up to 2030. Bangladesh Submarine Cable Company Limited-BSCCL sources said that Bangladesh has become a member of the SEA-ME-WE-6 consortium which has been formed for the new submarine cable line. The cable will be connected to the SEA-ME-WE-6 consortium between Singapore and Sri Lanka.

Through the consortium, Bangladesh will get a total of 5 terabytes of bandwidth internet from Cox's Bazar to Singapore and 5 terabytes from Cox's Bazar to France. To get connected with it, the distance from the Cox's Bazar Landing Station to the main line beneath the deep sea will be 1850 km long. The connection will cost Tk 690 crore. Almost 89 percent of the amount will be spent on cable only. The final decision will be taken at a high level meeting soon. Bangladesh will sign the original agreement with the consortium in April. A memorandum of understanding was signed last September for this.



In this regard, Postal and Telecommunications Minister Mostafa Jabbar said, "We are now in the age of five-G technology. But still we are using low quality broadband facilities. In this reality, the third submarine cable will be a milestone in technology development and economic growth”. The final agreement to join the international consortium will be done in April. As a result, Bangladesh will connect to the main cable of the third submarine in 2023. This connection will meet our bandwidth demand for the next 10 years. The minister also added that Bangladesh has made huge technological progress. With it, the new submarine cable will meet our long-term demand.

The cable distance of the Singapore-France connection to the SEA-ME-WE-6 consortium is 20 thousand kilometers. Apart from Bangladesh, other 16 countries will be connected to this information super highway. Three companies will be connected from China. There will be 20 landing stations. Bangladesh joined the consortium on September last year. The main route between Singapore to France will be 1850 km away from Bangladesh. This distance is the route of Bangladesh itself. And Bangladesh will bear the full cost of installing its own route cable.

Members of the SEA-ME-WE 6 consortium will collectively pay for the main line, which is located between Singapore-France. Basically, Bangladesh's own station will be set up in the middle of the Bay of Bengal between Singapore and Sri Lanka. All the consortium work will be done by the company. The company that will get the job of SEA-ME-WE 6, the tender evaluation and finalization program of the consortium in Singapore, will be finalized after doing a pre-survey.

The cable would come from the branching station and connect to the landing station of Cox's Bazar. This present landing station is for SEA-ME-WE 4, which is the country's first submarine cable landing station. This will be extended and will be used for SEA-ME-WE 6. The meaning of SEA-ME-WE is Southeast Asia - Middle East and Western Europe. The cable is placed through this area and the name of each area is connected.

For the last time in the SEA-ME-WE 5 line connected countries of this area were Bangladesh, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, UAE, Djibouti, Egypt, Turkey, Italy, France, Myanmar and Yemen. These 19 countries are linked through 19 landing points.


Internet users and demand is increasing day by day in Bangladesh. To meet the future demand of internet bandwidth this SEA-ME-WE line 6 will definitely play an important role in the technology and communication industry of Bangladesh.

Thanks,

WiFi 6 | High Speed Internet Service is Coming


The tech world is constantly changing through inventing new technologies. At present, the most updated technology in the world of wireless connectivity is WiFi-6 which has not yet been officially launched but tested successfully.

Another name for the Internet is called speed. The fastest 5G technology has already begun to spread across the world. Now another high-speed internet service is coming to the user's Smartphone screen with the new Wi-Fi technology which will be called as Wi-Fi 6. Before launching this service, all the steps involved in developing a new Wi-Fi technology have been done. Networking hardware manufacturing has already been started for this technology. Even world-renowned tech companies have started producing various products that supports Wi-Fi 6.

Analysts say ‘Wi-Fi version Six’ will bring some radical changes in the Internet world. Wi-Fi 5 is currently running. Compared to Five, the Wi-Fi Six will provide nearly three times faster speed. At the same time, Six will be able to continuously provide high speed internet service to multiple users. Updated security technology has been added to it.

Number of Mobile gadgets, Internet of Things (IoT) and various hardware devices connected to the Internet are increasing worldwide. After the launch of the WiFi Six version, if manufacturers start making their supported devices then the use of version 6 will start thoroughly.

About Wi-Fi 6:
Wi-Fi technology is standardized by an international organization called the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). Another International organization called 'Wi-Fi Alliance' gives certificates to Wi-Fi technology supported devices or certifies the quality. The Wi-Fi Alliance is made up of more than eight hundred companies and manufacturers around the world. It has Apple, Microsoft, Google, FaceBook, Intel, Qualcomm, Broadcom, Samsung, LG Electronics and more.

These two international organization works to bring new radio technology in every five years. The task of updating Wi-Fi technology has also done in five years. Wi-Fi Five was introduced in the year 2014 and it’s another name was 'IEEE 802.11AC'. Wi-Fi Five is commonly used on almost all Smartphone, Laptops or various IoT devices. That continuation of developments has brought the WiFi - or IEEE 802.11AX.

Features and Specialties Wi-Fi 6:
  • The big surprise of the new Wi-Fi technology is high-speed. The maximum speed of the WiFi-5 is 3.5 gbps (Gigabits per second). On Wi-Fi 6, it will be about 9.6 gbps.
  • Usually when multiple devices get connected to a Wi-Fi network, the Internet slows down. But that won't happen on Wi-Fi Six. Rather, this new technology will ensure the same level of internet service and information flow to multiple users on the same network.
  • Compared to the version five, the speed of internet will increase by about four times.
  • Wi-Fi Six can run on two types of frequencies, these are the 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz bands.
  • The security measures have been further strengthened by adding security standard WPA3 which is mandatory. The users will use encryption to exchange information. Apart from this, the WPA3 will help the user to be safe from hackers.
  • WiFi-6 will also increase the battery performance of devices connected to the Internet. This will not drain the device's battery even for long internet usage. The device will last for a long time.
  • Analysts say Wi-Fi Six can comfortably use the Internet on various IoT devices, including Smartphones, smart TVs, Laptops etc.
  • Under the same WiFi zone, one user will be able to watch movies on Netflix, another user will be able to play online games without any interruption and at the same time another will be able to watch videos without buffering.





WiFi-6 in the Future:
The technology world is all set to enter to the new generation of Wi-Fi 6. Before this service officially launched, manufacturing of hardware and device such as Routers, Smartphone and Chipsets to support this technology has been started. Samsung recently introduced their new flagship Smartphone 'Galaxy S10' which will support Wi-Fi 6. Asus, Netgear, TP-Link have brought Wi-Fi 6 Router to market. HP and Dell brought new laptop that supports Wi-Fi 6. Qualcomm has brought a processor in the market.

Wi-Fi Six will be officially announced soon. It will take time to available in everywhere. The entire networking system of the Internet needs to be transferred to use of WiFi-6. The hardware will have to be replaced, it is also mandatory to use a Wi-Fi Six supported router. Devices will also have to adapt to this technology. This will not be possible to use on older devices, as this requires a change in hardware.

At the beginning, Wi-Fi Six supported routers, processors and devices will also be quite expensive. The routers or devices that currently support Wi-Fi Six are priced higher on the market. That is, the world of Wi-Fi technology will change slowly.

Every user wants high-speed Internet service and this trend will draw users to WiFi-6 in the future.

Thanks,

Technology and Future of the World


Based on the technical aspects the present human civilization is passing their best times. The technologies that were not considered before 50 years ago, have now made our lives easier and natural. In the future, these technologies will bring more changes in our lives.

Although many talk about the excellence of technology but many are skeptical about the happiness of future generations for climate changes, increased population and shrinking of natural resources. But there is no reason to worry because researchers say, the next generation will be very relaxed. Problems like warfare, climate change and population growth will continue, but new horizons of possibilities will spark socio-economic development and the development of knowledge, science and information technology.

According to the researchers, by the end of the 2050, the life of people will be much more impressive by the combined excellence of science and information technology. The driver will not have to drive a car, lover will find artificial lover, and even chance of immortality may appear in front of that generation.

Human Brain:
By learning and editing the genes knowledge scientists will be able to make “Ideal Man” within the next 50 to 150 years. In the coming decades, scientists hope that they will be able to replace the human brain on computers. Through this technology life will be saved on the artificial body, the dream of immortality will be fulfilled!


Neuro-scientist Randal A. Koene, financed by Russian billionaire Dmitry Iskov, is trying to replace human consciousness and the brain with artificial body within the next 2045. Even if those who are now living, at one time they will survive after death with the help of new technology, with the help of artificially stored brain. Scientists have expressed such hope, they are now researching how the brain can be refreshed constantly by chemical solution.

Internet Everywhere:
By the year 2050 the internet will be reached everywhere in the world. Jonathan Porritt, a researcher of Forum for the Future Founder says, almost 98 percent people or more than eight billion peoples of the world will be internet users, many of whom will be connected via their mobile phones. Currently 40 percent of the world's populations are under the internet connection. Giant IT companies including Google, Facebooke are already moving ahead with plans to spread the Internet everywhere around the world.


Future Disease Cure:
Although we do not know what other diseases will be a threat to us in the future. Researchers say that they will be to release patients from the deadliest diseases by 2050. Even cancer and HIV antibodies will be invented in the next 20 years, they can discover vaccines that prevent the spread of AIDS. Currently, around 2 million people die every year in the world due to AIDS.


Martin Wiselka, consultant at the University Hospital of Leicester NHS Trust, UK, said: "In the future, our researchers will be able to discover antibodies that can prevent HIV-like virus." Cancer will also be eliminated. The invention of nano-particle will attack the stem cells and destroy the cancer germs. Cancer vaccine to be invented soon. Moreover diseases like malaria will be completely eliminated. In addition to antibodies, mosquitoes will be genetically modified to destroy mosquito bites. The causes and remedies of Alzheimer's disease will come out. Meningitis Disease Prevention is already available in the US market.

Robot and Artificial Intelligence:
The use of robots in the production of artificial intelligence can reach a point where the wealth of wealthy countries with large populations in Africa and Asia will differ huge. The rich people of the defective human race in the developed world may not normally die after 100 years from today. They will establish their own island in the sea and make their own rich people area.


Self Driven Car: 
No driver will be needed for transportation within the next few decades. According to the Milken Institute data, by 2035 all the cars in the world will be self driven. Due to the absence of human error, these cars will be safer and more secure. In addition, electric cars will triumph in the world by 2050. According to Italian fuel producer Inel, by the year 2050, electric car production in the world will rise by 10 crores per year. It will reduce the carbon emissions by 30 percent of the world's total.


What about the Earth:
However, with such advances in technology, a question has come up again and again. How long will the world survive? Many people may see the destruction of the earth in the near future. Scientists in the UK say the earth will survive for at least 175 Crore years. If it is longer, then it can last more than 350 Crore years. Scientists believe that from then, the heat of the sun will be so much that nothing on earth will be able to survive.


From the beginning of creation until now, the earth has been at a convenient distance from the sun. The world's sea water is not heated as it should be, nor is it cold enough to be permanently icy. But now the sun has become the cause of the problem. The heat of the sun is increasing day after day. On a planet near the sun, it would not be possible to exist without water. But the distance between the sun and the earth will remain the same, once the earth will become ineligible to live.

University of East Anglia researcher Andrew Rousseau says that at that time the sun will be in the heated zone, the temperature will rise so that the ocean water will evaporate. We will see the catastrophic and extreme extinction of all creatures. Human will be lost from the earth.
