DHAKA, April 8, 2019 (BSS) – Bangladesh’s leading mobile network operator
(MNO), Grameenphone has registered one crore subscribers’ base in its 4G
network since the introduction of its fastest mobile internet service in
February last year.
Grameenphone crossed the threshold of 50 lakh 4G customers in November
2018 while another 50 lakh joined the tally within five months, said the MNO
today.
Signifying this milestone, Grameenphone’s Deputy CEO and CMO, Yasir Azman
said Bangladesh is one of the fastest growing 4G market in Asia and this
shows how fast the country is moving towards digitalization through mobile
broadband.
“Grameenphone is committed to invest and bring high speed internet to
citizens all over Bangladesh. This milestone of 1 crore 4G subscribers for
Grameenphone inspires us to do it better and faster,” he added.
The introduction of 4G last year ushered in a new era of digitalization in
the country with a promise to put high-speed internet in the hands of the
people.
Grameenphone was granted an operating license for 4G services after it
acquired 5 MHz spectrum in the 1800 MHz frequency band, making it the highest
holder of the 1800 MHz frequency, the most suitable spectrum for 4G/LTE
rollout.
