Grameenphone has signed an agreement with Bangladesh Satellite Company Limited to bring Starlink’s satellite internet solutions to its corporate clientele in Bangladesh, said a press release.

Targeting industries where terrestrial infrastructure remains limited but high availability, low latency, and mission-critical uptime are essential, this collaboration will enable Grameenphone’s B2B customers to enjoy seamless, high-speed connectivity even in the most remote and hard-to-reach areas of the country.

Starlink’s satellite-based connectivity will act as a reliable backup link, maintaining uninterrupted operations during fibre cuts, natural disasters, or rural network outages.

By combining Grameenphone’s network leadership, BSCL’s satellite expertise and Starlink’s global capabilities, this collaboration sets a new benchmark for enterprise connectivity in Bangladesh, it said.

Grameenphone chief executive officer Yasir Azman and BSCL managing director and chief executive officer Muhammad Imadur Rahman recently signed the agreement at GPHouse in the capital.

Also present during the ceremony were Asif Naimur Rashid, chief business officer of Grameenphone, Md Golam Sarowar, general manager (admin and procurement) and Shah Ahmedul Kabir, general manager (sales and marketing) of BSCL ,along with other senior officials from both organisations.

Asif Naimur Rashid said, ‘At Grameenphone, we are continuously looking for ways to bring best-in-class connectivity solutions to our enterprise customers. This collaboration with BSCL marks another step in our commitment to ensuring business continuity and resilience for organisations operating across Bangladesh.’

With Starlink’s advanced satellite technology, our B2B partners, especially those operating in remote energy fields, coastal operations, or border zones, will be able to stay connected, productive, and future-ready,’ he said.

Muhammad Imadur Rahman added, ‘We are pleased to partner with Grameenphone to expand satellite broadband access for the GP’s enterprise sector. Together, we aim to strengthen Bangladesh’s digital backbone, ensuring uninterrupted communication for critical operations in even the most geographically challenging areas.’
