The presentation discusses optical fiber communication (OFC) in Bangladesh. It provides an overview of OFC, including how Bangladesh first connected to an international gateway, the companies using the gateway, and when OFC was first introduced. It describes the SEA-ME-WE-4 submarine cable connecting Bangladesh to other countries, and how many companies in Bangladesh use OFC. The presentation outlines the past and present layout of OFC systems, their uses, and the future potential of OFC in Bangladesh.

4. What is the optical Fiber Communication
?
 Fiber-optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one
place to another by sending pulses of light through an optical fiber. The light
forms an electromagnetic carrier wave that is modulated to carry
information. First developed in the 1970s, fiber-optic communication systems
have revolutionized the telecommunications industry and have played a major
role in the advent of the Information Age.

5. When the Bangladesh has connected to
the international gateway ?

6. How many companies are using international
gateway operator ?

7. When the OFC was first used in Bangladesh ?

8. SEA-ME-WE-4 Submarine Cable
 The submarine cable system with which Bangladesh is currently connected
through BSCCL is a high capacity optical fiber Submarine Cable System linking
16 companies of 14 countries: Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Bangladesh,
India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Tunisia,
Italy, Algeria and France. It is called the South East Asia-Middle East-Western
Europe- 4 (SEA-ME-WE-4) cable network and is under an International
Consortium. It has a total length of 20,000 km with 1.28 Terabit/Sec capacity.
Currently, Bangladesh has a capacity of 44.60 Gbps in the Submarine Cable
through the Upgrade # 2 and has applied for more capacity in Upgrade # 3 to
reach around 80 Gbps. As of today (Nov. 19, 2009), the current utilization is
about 11 Gbps.

connection in subcontinent.

10. How many companies are using OFC in
Bangladesh ?
 Bangladesh Submarine Cable Company (BSCCL) is a Telecommunications
infrastructure service provider primarily through the international Submarine
Cable and domestic high capacity optical fiber network.
 Presently, as a root service provider of submarine cable bandwidth, BSCCL is
serving the following types of clients:
 All IIG Companies (Presently, BTCL & Mango Teleservices Ltd).
 All IGW companies (Presently, BTCL, Bangla Trac Communication Ltd., Mir
Telecom, & Novotel Ltd.
 Any other corporate users interested in IPLC connections with substantially
large bandwidth

Bangladesh

13. Quantity of using OFC system from 1980
to 2010 in Bangladesh.

14. Present uses of OFC stem in Bangladesh
 Presently, BSCCL is providing submarine cable bandwidth for different routes
and different capacities to the International Internet Gateway (IIG) and large
corporate clients in Bangladesh. It has also got the license for IIG operations
in Bangladesh. BSCCL has earned membership of the SEA-ME-WE-5 consortium,
which will provide another submarine cable connectivity for the country when
its submarine cable is implemented within a couple of years according to the
plan.

15. Future uses of OFC system in Bangladesh
 To connect Bangladesh to the global information super highway
 To provide uninterrupted and quality broad-spectrum telecommunication
services in transparent and competitive manner using state-of-the art
technology
 To provide Bandwidth service for all kinds of international voice and data
circuits through the submarine cable and optical fiber networks.
 To strengthen the national ICT sector.
 To help the people of Bangladesh getting full benefit of all the
Telecommunications & IT related services.
