Sunil will also focus on building strong partnerships with stakeholders to ensure that EDOTCO Bangladesh is well-positioned to meet the needs of its customers and contribute to the country's digital transformation, reads the release.

"I am thrilled to join EDOTCO Bangladesh at this exciting time in the company's growth journey," said Sunil Isaac.

"My focus will be on helping our customers to expand their reach to the unconnected or under-connected people by expanding our tower infrastructure, particularly in underserved areas. I look forward to working with the team to drive innovation, build strong partnerships, and deliver value to our customers."

In addition to expanding its tower footprint, EDOTCO Bangladesh is also preparing for the next wave of technology innovation, including 5G and new spectrum rollouts.
