EDOTCO Bangladesh, the leading digital infrastructure company in the country, has installed Bangladesh’s first fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) telecom tower in Gopalganj, setting a new benchmark for sustainable and efficient network infrastructure.
The next-generation FRP tower, developed in collaboration with HS Engineering and Technology Ltd, marks a major step toward modernizing Bangladesh’s telecom landscape. The advanced material—lighter, stronger, and corrosion-resistant compared to traditional steel—enables quicker deployment, longer service life, and reduced environmental impact.
According to EDOTCO, the tower’s lightweight composite design allows for transportation and on-site installation within five to six hours using minimal heavy equipment, thereby reducing community disruption and expediting network rollout.
“This FRP tower is more than an infrastructure milestone—it reflects our commitment to a sustainable, future-ready telecom ecosystem,” said Sunil Issac, Country Managing Director of EDOTCO Bangladesh. “By integrating innovative materials and greener deployment methods, we’re strengthening Bangladesh’s digital backbone with infrastructure that is efficient, durable, and environmentally responsible.”
The FRP structure’s corrosion resistance and durability make it particularly suited for Bangladesh’s coastal, humid, and industrial zones where conventional steel towers degrade more rapidly. Over its lifecycle, the tower can reduce maintenance costs by up to 40%, eliminating the need for frequent repainting or anti-corrosion coatings.
Beyond functionality, the tower’s modern and streamlined appearance offers a visually cleaner alternative to traditional lattice or monopole designs.
EDOTCO plans to expand the deployment of FRP towers to other regions across Bangladesh, reinforcing its vision of resilient, scalable, and sustainable connectivity infrastructure to meet the nation’s growing data demand.
