Posts and Telecommunications Minister Mustafa Jabbar said the state-owned telecom operator Teletalk will launch the 5G technology by December this year.
“The process of introducing 5G technology is a planned effort of the government. Teletalk will launch 5G technology by December. It will be expanded later. We will also see other operators rolling out the 5G within 2022,” he said.
The minister made the disclosure recently while addressing a webinar titled “5G: Ecosystem in Bangladesh and Upcoming Technologies” organized by Telecom Reporters’ Network Bangladesh (TRNB), said a press release.
The success of technology cannot be achieved without the involvement of the people, Jabbar said, adding that the people need to be motivated and involved in the process while the media can play an important role in this regard.
Noting that the technology of the Fourth Industrial Revolution would be the 5G, he said, “We have already tested 5G through Huawei and Robi, which has boosted our confidence. Through this, we have been able to prove that we will not be lagging behind even an inch as far as adopting 5G technology is concerned”.
Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) Chairman Shyam Sunder Sikder addressed the webinar as the special guest while BTRC Commissioner and Chief of 5G Guideline Committee AKM Shahiduzzaman was present as the guest of honor.
