The story

Founded by Abdul Mannan in 2008.1

Banglalion was founded by Major (Retd.) Abdul Mannan in 2008, as a subsidiary of Sunman Group. The company won a Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) license to provide WiMAX technology countrywide in an auction held by the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) in the September of this year. The company raised Tk450 crore for its setup, with BDT 171 crore loan from 7 banks of Bangladesh, mainly AB Bank and BDT 130 crore from bonds.

By 2011, the operator garnered an overwhelming response with its subscriber count reaching 350,000. At the end of 2012, Banglalion started to expand its business to the major districts of Bangladesh along with divisional headquarters. It was the highest bidder, at Tk 2.15 billion ($31.4M as of September 2008), and chose spectrum in the 2585-2620 MHz bandwidth. In November 2009, it became the second operator, after Augere, to launch a WiMAX network in Bangladesh.

As of 2022, it does not provide any products.
