In addition, Bangla Lion Communications is currently negotiating orders with Zyxel Communications, the leading provider of broadband-internet access solutions.

Abdul Manan, chairman of Bangla Lion Communications, said in Taipei that the company’s shopping list of CPE products includes indoor and outdoor WiMAX terminal-end devices as well as USB network cards.

Bangla Lion Communications also will approach suppliers who can offer netbooks having built-in WiMAX modules, according to Abdul Manan. He was in Taipei to attend the exhibition named ‘Broadband Taiwan-2009’ which took place on October 26-28, 2009.

Manan said Bangla Lion Communications intends to invest US $250 million in order to build up its WiMAX infrastructure over the next 5 years. Apart from this, the company aims to raise the number of its WiMAX base stations from 900 at present to 6,000.
