Bangladesh exports Bandwidth to India next week

Bangladesh is set to start transmission of bandwidth export formally to India next week this month in line with a bilateral deal struck earlier this year, which would pave the way to the country to earn over Taka 9 crore annually, said officials.

According to BSS reports, the formal export of the bandwidth will begin in any day of the next week to Tripura through the northeastern Akhaura-Agartala frontier, state-run Bangladesh Submarine Cable Company Limited (BSCCL) Managing Director Monwar Hossain told on Monday.

BSCCL officials earlier said the two neighbors set up structural links for bandwidth transmission on November 16 connecting BTCL’s optical fiber at zero point on the border.

But, the trial transmission was delayed as India could not complete technical preparations to receive the bandwidth, they said.

BSCCL is now transmitting 200 mbps bandwidth transmission on trial basis since the first week of December last year overcoming all the technical glitches.
