Banglalink has acquired 40MHz of spectrum in the 2300MHz band at an auction held by the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC).
Banglalink’s CEO Erik Aas said: ‘We congratulate the BTRC on successfully conducting the spectrum auction. It is an important step for the industry, as the availability of more spectrum will result in better internet speed and quality digital services for citizens of Bangladesh. In keeping with our objective – 4G for all, not 5G for a few, we intend to utilise the new spectrum primarily for 4G in next two-three years.’ Banglalink is aiming to build 3,000 mobile towers this year to boost its 4G coverage.
