Telecom infrastructure company, Tejas Networks, has deployed a nationwide network for Bangladeshi telecom provider Dhaka TelePhone. Dhaka Telephone presently has extensive coverage in urban districts of Bangladesh and plans extensive coverage of rural areas as well, according to a Tejas Networks release on Monday. Dhaka TelePhone built its network using the TJ100 range of Next Gen-SDHôSONET platforms from Tejas, specifically for backhauling their wireless network. “Tejas perceives Bangladesh as a rapidly growing market and looks forward to providing superior products and continued support to this market,” said Anil Batra, president - Sales, Marketing & Support, Tejas Networks.
Haroon Al Atahar, General Manager - Technical Division, Dhaka TelePhone, said in a statement that Dhaka TelePhone is actively planning a larger network to reach out to the rural areas at reasonably low cost, thereby increasing the teledensity throughout the country. In addition to SDHONET, Tejas has introduced Carrier Ethernet platforms for next-generation telecom networks.
