Teletalk Bangladesh Ltd (Teletalk) has chosen Nokia to deploy a 5G network in the nation for the first time.
According to a press statement, the agreement supports the government’s digital agenda in Bangladesh, which is based on 5G and aims to foster automation, digitalization, and Industry 4.0.
Faster speeds, lower latency, and greater dependability will be enabled by the new network, which will also promote the intelligent transformation of industries such as education and healthcare.
Nokia will deliver equipment from its latest ReefShark System on Chip-powered AirScale equipment portfolio, including its 5G AirScale Digital Baseband Unit with a plugin capability to boost capacity where it is needed, during the early phase of deployment.
It will also provide its high-performance 64TRX AirScale huge MIMO Adaptive Antennas for use in a variety of deployment situations, including dense-urban areas and wide-area coverage.
Teletalk’s 5G network will go live in time for Bangladesh’s Golden Jubilee of Independence festivities. Teletalk is updating its network, which will include support for rural areas as well as the deployment of 5G networks in major urban areas.
Since 2004, Nokia and Teletalk have collaborated on the implementation of 2G, 3G, and 4G networks. Nokia also provides transportation and core solutions, as well as a contract for network growth and modernisation.
