Handles Bhutan, Nepal to export surplus bandwidth also on the cards

Saudi Arabia and Bhutan have expressed an enthusiastic interest in purchasing bandwidth from Bangladesh, Content and Telecommunication Minister Mustafa Jabbar said on Tuesday.
 
He as well said negotiations to export bandwidth to Bhutan were only a contract signing away, which might inspire Nepal to check out suit.

The minister made the remarks after the government on your day approved a Tk693.2 crore project to set up the country’s third submarine cable, to meet up the fast-growing demand for connectivity.

According to the Section of Telecommunications, Bangladesh is exporting 10 Gbps bandwidth to the Indian point out of Tripura, as the eastern Indian claims are hilly and also have poor network connectivity. Due to this fact, bandwidth transfer to the area is quite expensive for India, specifically from Mumbai or Chennai.

"If we want to export more bandwidth, we need not create new access factors. We provides bandwidth to Bhutan and Nepal from Kuakata, and the eastern Indian claims from Cox's Bazar," Jabbar added.

With installing the brand new submarine cable, Bangladesh are certain to get 6 terabyte per second of bandwidth, improving internet speed and helping start 5G services in the united states.

Bangladesh now uses 1,600 Gbps bandwidth, when compared with 300 Gbps towards the end of 2016. The country has a bandwidth capacity of 2,600 Gbps from two submarine cables, and the 3rd cable will add another 7,200 Gbps.
