The advantages of the people of Bangladesh will be

Special Representative. The country's first satellite Bangabandhu-1 came to the United States on Thursday night. The first satellite Bangladesh is interested in learning about the general public. Bangladesh successfully owns its own satellite as the 57th country, because of successfully being in space. But many people ask, what would be the benefit of the people of Bangladesh with this satellite created at the cost of around three billion crores?
The people of the country can get three types of benefits from the satellite. Firstly, the ability to sell and sell satellite satellites can be done both. Secondly, it will be possible to expand the Internet and telecommunication services in the remote areas of the country. Thirdly, this satellite will play a vital role in tackling and managing disaster situations. It is also possible to use this satellite to ensure national security. But this is going to be the most important thing in terms of these possibilities, the image of Bangladesh. Through the Bangabandhu-1, Bangladesh will enter the satellite country of the country's satellite technology. Soon after the announcement of Bangabandhu-1, BRAC University started work on the Nano satellite project. This nano satellite named BRAC Anbasea has been created by some young people of this country. Four of the computer engineering departments of BRAC University have already been working on the Bangabandhu satellite project. These young people say that if the government gets some support from the government, it is possible to create satellites in the country by 2021. They think that, because of their satellites, they can have such great dreams and thoughts. Let's come to the satellite's commercial direction. Now there are about 30 satellite channels in the country. These channels are being operated with satellite rentals from different countries of the world including Singaporeans. For this, a monthly rent of three or six thousand US dollars is to count on a channel. In all, the cost of channels for satellite rentals is $ 2 million or about 17 billion taka. The satellite rental will reduce when Bangabandhu Satellite is launched. Then the country's money will remain in the country.
Not only that, the transporter or capacity of the Bangabandhu satellite will have the opportunity to earn foreign currency by paying rent to another country. The government has been asked to keep 20 tickets for 40 satellite transfers in this satellite. Bangabandhu Communications Satellite Company (BCSB) Limited, the government formed to sell this satellite transporter in Indonesia and Philippines has already started. Internet Bandwidth is another selling product of Bangabandhu Satellite. According to the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC), on the Bangabandhu-1 satellite, 26 of the 40 transponders, 26 KU-bands and 14 c-bands. It is possible to provide wave allocation (frequency) at 40 mhz of each transponder. As a result, the total frequency capacity of 40 transponders is 1,600 mhz. Due to some technical constraints these 1 thousand can not be used. But at least 1,400 MHz can be used.
France's Thales Alenia Space has created the main structure of the Bangabandhu-1 satellite. Thales Alenya Space, however, the internet that uses satellite bandwidth and frequencies is quite expensive. Satellite-controlled Internet bandwidth costs about 100 times higher than bandwidth provided by fiber optics. There are no fiber-optic internet connections in the country's 750 union now. In areas where the Internet is deprived, the areas of Hill and Haor Through satellite, it is possible to ensure internet services in these remote areas, if the government offers special incentives in this sector to provide Internet service providers. The satellite will also be effective for storm or major disaster communication. Such large natural disaster mobile networks have become stagnant for a long time. Then it will be possible to maintain remote area communication through satellites. The facility can also be used for spreading Internet and banking services, telemedicine and remote education system of the people of the deprived areas, Bangabandhu-1 satellite. To ensure these satellite facilities, work according to specific plans. In this case, the government will have to take the first initiative. The control and marketing of satellites will also be done efficiently. In this case, the private sector will have to work efficiently. It is very important to ensure that all matters are not covered by bureaucratic complications. Because the satellite will last 15 years from the moment of launch. Unnecessary timeout, the purpose of the satellite created in the hard-earned sense of the people of Bangladesh will be difficult to accomplish.
