Banglalion Communications Ltd yesterday formally launched its WiMAX internet service in the port city with a commitment to help improve daily life and speed up industrial activities.

Banglalion Chairman Abdul Mannan made the announcement at a press conference at Chittagong Press Club.

Banglalion is introducing wireless internet facilities with a view to establishing an IT-based society through developing network, marketing equipment within purchase capacity and promoting the living standard, he said.

He observed that investment in this sector is now less than 1 percent of the income of any firm while it ranges from 6 to 8 percent in the developed countries.

It is because of the users’ lack of confidence in service providers and internet speeds that can hardly be generated with the technology available in the country, said Mannan adding that Banglalion would overcome the speed problem.

As the first WiMAX Internet service provider here Banglalion would meet the total demand of speedy wireless internet in Chittagong.

With increasing demand the telecom companies would be increasing investment in this sector by 50 percent spending two-third (of the increased investment) in wireless-exchange of information, equipment and infrastructure development within the next three years, informed WiMAX chairman.

Speedy internet use would increase to 10 percent from existing 4 percent in the next two years, he hoped.

Banglalion Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Khaled Shams and Chief Brand Officer Aftab Mahmood Khurshid also spoke at the press conference.
