This collaboration with BSCL marks another step in our commitment to ensuring business continuity and resilience for organizations operating across Bangladesh. With Starlink’s advanced satellite technology, our B2B partners, especially those operating in remote energy fields, coastal operations, or border zones, will be able to stay connected, productive, and future-ready.”
Dr. Muhammad Imadur Rahman, Managing Director & CEO of BSCL, added, “We are pleased to partner with Grameenphone to expand satellite broadband access for the GP’s enterprise sector. Together, we aim to strengthen Bangladesh’s digital backbone, ensuring uninterrupted communication for critical operations in even the most geographically challenging areas.”
