The first ever demonstration of the latest 5G mobile technology in Bangladesh recorded a speed of 4.17 Gbps for the wireless broadband.

Chinese telecom vendor Huawei conducted the demonstration of the 5G (fifth generation) technology using the network of private mobile phone operator Robi at a city hotel on Wednesday, reports BSS.
Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) allotted 800 Megahertz spectrum to Huawei for seven days to run this 5G demonstration.
Prime Minister’s ITC Affairs Adviser Sajeeb Wazed Joy inaugurated the demonstration as chief guest.
A robot brought a device to Joy and he started the demonstration by pressing a button. Later, the speed meter displayed highest 4.17gbps on the screen.
Speaking on the occasion, Joy said Bangladesh will introduce 5G services in the country if the Awami League (AL) is voted to power again through the next general election.
“Bangladesh is going to be one of the first countries to deploy 5G in the world. This is my promise to you that if you vote for Awami League once again, we will bring 5G in Bangladesh,” he added.
Very few developed countries in the world have conducted a test run and adopted 5G technology on a limited scale. South Korea is leading the way here.
Earlier in the day, Huawei did a trial of 5G in its Dhaka office.
On Feb 19 this year, Bangladesh introduced 4G mobile internet.
All private mobile phone network operators started offering the fastest internet services immediately after receiving the 4G/LTE license from the telecom regulator.
