Telecommunications infrastructure services provider edotco is prepared to support the 5G rollout in the Bangladesh market, said its group CEO Mohamed Adlan Ahmad Tajudin.

"With 5G network on the horizon, we will continue to play our role to support the industry and the government with our expertise, knowledge and learnings we gained from other countries to help speed up the rollout."

"As we forge stronger connections and continue to harness Bangladesh's immense potential, we look forward to creating avenues for greater collaboration – locally, regionally, and globally," he said.

He was speaking at a knowledge-sharing and question-and-answer session with the Telecom and Technology Reporters' Network Bangladesh (TRNB) at a hotel in Dhaka today.

Tajudin discussed the importance of telecom infrastructure in accelerating the country's digital economy.

"Bangladesh is one of the key markets for edotco Group. Similar to other countries we are present, we view our role as a key infrastructure partner to the government and businesses to help accelerate access to digital connectivity nationwide."

Rashed Mehedi, president of the TRNB, said collaboration among industry, policymakers and other stakeholders, including journalists, is needed to overcome the challenges of the fourth industrial revolution and tap the opportunities created by the latest technological revolution.

Tajudin was appointed as group CEO of edotco Group in November 2020. He has more than 17 years of experience in the telecommunications field.

Tajudin arrived in Dhaka from Kuala Lumpur for his first official visit to Bangladesh earlier this week.

edotco has established more than 14,700 sites in Bangladesh.

Masuduzzaman Robin, general secretary of the TRNB, was present.
