GP recognised as global rising star

Grameenphone, the country’s largest operator, has been recognised as a global rising star as it witnessed the most improvement year on year, with the highest improvement of 12.7 per cent in voice experience.

Open Signal, an independent global standard for global mobile networks, has revealed its latest Global Network Experience Report (GMNE), where Grameenphone has been named as the top operator under the category of Voice App Experience in Bangladesh.

Banglalink has led the download speed experience category with 78.5 per cent, followed by Grameenphone 72.1 per cent, from Bangladesh.

Under the upload speed experience, three out of four operators from Bangladesh have been named, with Grameenphone taking the lead with 72.3 per cent, followed by Robi (60.3 per cent) and Banglalink (59.5 per cent).

Banglalink, with 7.5 per cent, has been tipped with the most percentage improvement time in the 4G/5G category.

The mobile industry in Bangladesh has been going through a transformational phase, with Grameenphone being the only operator to run the trial of 5G services in Bangladesh after Teletalk.

Grameenphone, with 79.1 million subscribers, has also established over 19,000 towers with 4G connectivity and covered 99 per cent of the country with its network.

Robi has been following Grameenphone closely, with over 54.4 million subscribers, over 16000 4G sites, and 98.3 per cent population coverage, followed by Banglalink with 39 million subscribers.

As a part of the Global Awards report, OpenSignal compares operators from around the world, recognising those on which the users had the best experience and highlighting operators under the title of Global Rising Stars in which the users had the greatest improvement in mobile network experience.

OpenSignal will continue to share its deep analysis of the mobile network experience to help operators, regulators, and users navigate these trends.
