Police establish communication thru satellite for 1st time
In a groundbreaking development, Bangladesh Police have established wireless communication among multiple units using Bangabandhu Satellite-1 for the first time.
With the help of VSAT technology, a direct communication link has been established among Noakhali's Bhasanchar Police Station, the Rohingya Camp at Bhasanchar, and some other police units.
Thanks to the new communication technology, easy and uninterrupted communication with other parts of the country will continue even during natural calamities like cyclones.
