Dhaka, Dec 8 (bdnews24.com) – Bangladesh has been linked to the international telecommunication network through terrestrial cable.

International Terrestrial Cable (ITC) operator NovoCom announced the launching of the service at Ruposhi Bangla Hotel on Saturday.

NovoCom Managing Director Syed Moinul Haque said Bangladeshis would not face any problem to connect to the international telecommunication system even if the submarine cable was severed.

NovoCom connected Bangladesh with Indian telecommunication companies Tata and Airtel, using terrestrial optical fibre cable as an alternative of the submarine cable.

Bangladesh depended only on one submarine cable for telecommunication. When the cable is needed repair, an often-needed procedure, there had previously been no other ways to communicate.

As the new connection has been created using terrestrial cable, disruption in submarine cable service will not hamper service anymore.

"Internet will be easily accessible and the users will get facilities as our ITC operator has started working," Moinul said.

NovoCom will also connect Bangladesh's Internet Service Providers (ISPs) with the international cable systems other than the submarine cable, he said.

The government had published an advertisement on the guideline for ITC licencing on Mar 31 last year. Though the advertisement said up to three licences would be given, six companies have got approval.

The licences were handed over to NovoCom Limited, One Asia AHLJV, BD Link Communication Limited, Mango Teleservices Limited, Summit Communication Limited and Fibre at Home Limited on Jan 5 this year.

The firms other than NovoCom are still working to be connected with the international telecommunication system.

Got connected through Tata in August, One Asia is yet to launch commercial activities using the connection.

The new terrestrial cable will link Bangladesh to other countries through several submarine cables with landing stations at Mumbai and Chennai.

Link through terrestrial cable lines would also be cheaper than submarine cable lines. "We'll be able to set up direct connection with Nepal, Bhutan, Pakistan and China."

Chief Technical Officer Tanvir Ehsanur Rahman and other top officials of NovoCom were present.

This is another Sazeeb Wazed Joy, Sheikh Hasina's son project and allowing india telecom corridor through Bangladesh under disguise of Bangladesh linked to international telecommunication network through terrestrial cable". Lies are even evident in the report, this so called terrestrial cable only up to india and after that its submarine cable. This is an indian centric project from A to Z.

The new terrestrial cable will link Bangladesh to other countries through several submarine cables with landing stations at Mumbai and Chennai.

This whole scam was done only to provide india with telecom corridor and indian will even use our bandwidth of our submarine cable.

Another most disastrous part of the Sajeeb wazed Joy scam is now all Bangladesh phone conversation can effectively be monitored by indians. And in the month of independence Awami League has handed over another of our freedom to india.

You have a wrong assumption. Submarine cable is term which is used to define telecommunication cable links through ocean. But the submarine cable in which Bangladesh is connected is SEA-ME-WE-4. There are 100s of such cable!!! Are you sure after Chennai it will again connect to the SEA-ME-WE-4???

This was supposed to happen way back in the 90's.

Anyway, well done nonetheless.

As usual you are talking as a pathological liar. I did not say after Chennai or Mumbai it will connect to SEA-ME-WE_4. It could be any other that connects Chennai or Mumbai to rest of the world. Point is this is india centric project and this "terrestrial" link is upto india and after that its same submarine cable as news also indicated. This project is about allowing india telecom corridor through Bangladesh under disguise of "Bangladesh linked to international telecommunication network through terrestrial cable". Instead of inventing lies read the news carefully.

 

[CaPtAiN_pLaNeT]

I have a query why 6 license has been given for this!! Does Bangladesh has such a huge business scop!! N it seems everyone will connect via Tata or Airtel then what is the advantage here if there remain no diversity..!!! How much data they will be able to carry this is another question!!!

I beg your pardon but present SEA-ME-WE-4 is also connected to India as well. Then it is connected to many different countries. The thing that you are saying for the same reason Ershad did not connect to the Submarine cable and then BNP in 1991 did the same thing and let Bangladesh lagged behind by a decade to connect with this submarine cable. But unfortunate part is that even after getting connected Bangladesh have not utilized the bandwidth properly as it has been discussed numerous time most of the Bandwidth remain idle. In the mean time government is charging very high rate.

But one good thing about it is that after introducing this 6 other private companies internet bandwidth price will fall dramatically.

Actually providing india telecom corridor under disguise of "terrestrial" connectivity (which itself is a sham) was never a plan. Bangladesh was suppose to have connectivity to multiple submarine cable independently (not through indian territory).
In this day and age when telecom is vital to national security and india, US and all other nations are even reluctant to accept other countries telecom gears, Awami League opened up our entire telecom network for indian monitoring and surveillance is NO WAY acceptable for anyone understanding the ramification. Once again this was never a plan and should be never. What Bangladesh was looking previously that bringing another landing point of submarine cable project that goes through SE Asia/Japan/Pacific, I am afraid that may have been shelved now.

why is it that everything happens in bangladesh is an indian scandal????u have only 2 neighbours and india is well established with communication networks .......and indian will use ur bandwidth my foot.......do u even have an idea of a band width??????????india has a seperate set of frequencies under which it operates...and the frequencies are natural assets...besides why would we need ur submarine cable?????????do u even think before u post mate??

India connects to SEA-ME-WE-4 is not the issue. SEA-ME-WE-4 or any other submarine cable connects many countries through different landing points. These landing points are managed independently by each country and security and standard. But integrating through indian "terrestrial" network and then connecting to submarine cable is vastly different.

Bangladesh connects to --> SEA-ME-WE-4 through own independent landing point
India --> SEA-ME-WE-4 through own independent landing point

VS

This is what Awami League just did
Bangladesh --> connect to indian terrestrial network ---> through indian landing point

This was done to provide india telecom corridor and exposed entire Bangladesh telecom subject to indian surveillance and monitoring.

Tata and Airtel are providing optical fiber cables for communications.. So all local BD operators can use it right?

They are already using it... atleast NovoCom and other one which has established connection through Tata.

The matter is BD is not strategic enough to have a network point. One minute stop ur hate and think openly.
its being connected by using Indian territory. its the shortest way with less costs as infrastructure is already there. U cant have an entirely new cable to urself built to u. it will increase the costs umpeen times, that BD cannot have access to ITC at all.
Moreover BD is not our enemy. So what security problem is there to moniter BD?
Man, we are responsible for the name and flag which u show boastingly.

They are already using it... atleast NovoCom and other one which has established connection through Tata.

I am just wondering why some of BD pals are opposing it for no reason. It helps local ops in a big way. and a great way to go for BD.
