The country’s first telecom tower will be set up at Bangladesh Telecommunications Limited’s own land near the Tejgaon Satrasta junction in the capital Dhaka. On April 4, the finance ministry approved the installation of the flagship tower.
The tower, which will be constructed with three buildings to be constructed at a cost of a thousand crores of taka, will be set up with BTCL’s own funds. The Department of Architecture of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) has already laid down a guideline for the building. The consultant recruitment process is now underway.
BTCL Managing Director Dr. Rafiqul Matin confirmed to Digibangla that an open tender will be called for the construction of the building and the design of the building.
The building will house office space for all telecom operators and internet service providers in the country and will also declare special facilities for them, he said.
However, the BTCL chief did not agree to disclose those issues earlier. According to the approved plan, we hope that the country’s first flagship telecom tower will be built in 5 years.
