Robi’s sustained investment improves network experience across country

UNB :
Following sustained investment, network optimization initiative, and deployment of L2600 spectrum band that the company acquired in the auction last year, customers of Robi Axiata Limited throughout the country are enjoying significantly improved data and video network experience.

Till date, Robi has deployed L2600 spectrum in 50% of the sites that were dealing with high level of data traffic.

The doubling of network capacity following L2600 spectrum deployment in these areas helped to improve data speed by 50%.

Going forward, further deployment of L2600 spectrum will continue to improve network experience across the country, said a press release.

Doubling of a site capacity means that the site will be able to carry double data volume with better experience. This is also enabling the VoLTE users to enjoy best quality of voice in their devices, read the release.

While improving the data network, deployment of L2600 spectrum is also ensuring Robi’s readiness to launch 5G service. Robi had acquired 60 MHz spectrum from 2600 band last year from an open auction.

Robi’s Chief Corporate and Regulatory Officer, Shahed Alam said: “Robi has long been working on improving its network quality. On an average, we have been investing around $200million over a number of years.
