INFORMATION
There is a huge opportunity for the rapid development of information technology services throughout the country by the efficient usage of the submarine cable system. The BTTB has taken all essential measures for the use and maintenance of submarine cable in Bangladesh. The installation of excess network and the initiation of the IPLC circuit have already been made. To provide high capacity service, the required co-location has been linked between Dhaka and Chittagong. This will give the opportunity to use this submarine cable while linking the ISPs with DDN Nodes connection and VOIP Common Platform at various exchanges and by connecting private telephone operators with international trunk exchange.
