daily sun | Business | Grameenphone ready for 3G services

Country’s leading cellular phone operator Grameenphone has completed all kinds of technical preparation for providing “3G” or Third Generation services in the country, said officials.

“We’ve completed necessary technical upgradation and expecting to start 3G operation immediately after getting license,” said Tanveer Mohammad, Chief Technology Officer of Grameenphone.

He said that Grameenphone would switch to 3G services immediately by installing 3G radio card into the Base Transceiver Station (BTS) whenever the telecom regulator handover license to it.

“Grameenphone has made technical upgradation of its over 8,000 BTSs across the country through network swapping, which will ensure better network service for the customer,” Mohammad added.

The Grameenhone Chief Technology officer informed that they have the preparation to offering “4G” or Fourth Generation and Long Term Evolution (LTE) to its customer.

Mohammad said Grameenphone would start the operation of 3G firstly in Dhaka and then other big cities in phases after getting 3G license through proper process. “But, all the matters are being depended on the license price.”

He hoped that they would provide better services after initiating 3G services compared to others market players.

State-owned mobile operator Teletalk will get a license without participating in the auction, while four local private operators along with the foreign firms will compete for the rest four licenses. —BSS

Depending whether they will get 3G license or not. Only 3 out of 5 of the remaining company will get 3g. Citycell which is subsidy of Singtel for sure is gonna miss it. So the final competition will between the 4 and 1 will loose the opportunity. If it gets license by mid of next year it will launch the service.

Citycell was the very first service provider in the nation. What a shame to see them in the position they are now :sick:

Obviously they never took into account the competition :rolleyes:

It's pretty pathetic that they were never really that competitive given they were here first!
