Banglalink today received unified licences from Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC). 

The licences are 'Cellular mobile services operator licence' along with 'Radio communications apparatus licence for cellular mobile services', which will work as a unified licence for 2G, 3G, 4G and the upcoming 5G technologies combined.

Md Mohiuddin Ahmed, chairman of the BTRC, handed over the documents of the licence to Erik Aas, chief executive officer of Banglalink, at the commission office in Dhaka.

This comes three days after the regulator awarded these licences to Grameenphone, Robi and Teletalk.
