Grameenphone, BSCL sign deal to deliver starlink services to b2b customers
Grameenphone has signed an agreement with Bangladesh Satellite Company Limited (BSCL) to bring Starlink's next-generation satellite internet solutions to its corporate clients in Bangladesh.
The collaboration aims to support industries operating in areas where terrestrial infrastructure is limited but high availability, low latency, and mission-critical uptime are essential. Through the partnership, Grameenphone's B2B customers will be able to access high-speed, uninterrupted connectivity in remote and hard-to-reach regions.
The agreement was signed recently at GPHouse by Grameenphone Chief Executive Officer Yasir Azman and BSCL Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Dr Muhammad Imadur Rahman. Also present were Grameenphone Chief Business Officer Dr Asif Naimur Rashid, and BSCL General Manager (Admin and Procurement) Md Golam Sarowar and General Manager (Sales and Marketing) Shah Ahmedul Kabir, along with senior officials from both organisations.

Dr Asif Naimur Rashid said: "At Grameenphone, we are continuously exploring ways to bring best-in-class connectivity solutions to our enterprise customers. This collaboration with BSCL is another step in our commitment to ensuring business continuity and resilience for organisations across Bangladesh. With Starlink's advanced satellite technology, our B2B partners — particularly those operating in remote energy fields, coastal operations, or border zones — will be able to stay connected, productive, and future-ready."
Dr Muhammad Imadur Rahman said: "We are pleased to partner with Grameenphone to expand satellite broadband access for its enterprise segment. Together, we aim to strengthen Bangladesh's digital backbone by ensuring uninterrupted communication for critical operations, even in the most geographically challenging areas."
Starlink's satellite connectivity will serve as a reliable backup link for enterprises, maintaining 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, the partnership seeks to set a new benchmark for enterprise connectivity in Bangladesh in terms of innovation, resilience, and sustainable digital growth.
