GP reaches 10,000 3G sites

BSS

Grameenphone reached the milestone of 10 thousand 3G sites at 10,000 locations across the country offering 3G coverage to around 90 per cent of the population, reports BSS.
State Minister of posts and telecommunications Tarana Halim on Sunday inaugurated the 10,000th 3G site at a celebration ceremony at a hotel in the capital.
Congratulating Grameen-phone for the achievement, the State Minister said the endeavors of the operator would help the government in realization of "Digital Bangladesh".
She said: "The government is working relentlessly to expand the service, improve the service and provide the service to the people with affordable cost."
Mentioning that the government is determined to introduce MNP and 4G service within this year, Tarana said urged the operators to come up with more investment to offer quality service.
Earlier, in January this year, Grameenphone CEO Rajeev Sethi announced the goal to reach 10,000 3G sites by June in the presence of Telenor Group President and CEO Sigve Brekke.
This is one of the fastest as well as the largest 3G rollout in terms of population coverage in the region.
This expansion will not only connect almost all the people of the country to 3G but will enable government and other organizations to take their digital services to the people more effectively.
The network expansion has not only involved adding new 3G sites and conversion of thousands of 2G sites to 3G sites, but also up gradation of existing 2G sites to further enhance 2G services for general customers.
