Mir Telecom

What Mir Telecom does

Mir Telecom Ltd is a privately held Bangladeshi International Gateway (IGW) operator incorporated in Dhaka in 2008, operating as the flagship telecom entity of the diversified Mir Group (ultimate parent Mir Akhter Hossain Ltd, founded 1968). It was awarded Bangladesh's first IGW license by the BTRC in February 2008 and commenced commercial operations on 21 August 2008, providing 100% CLI international voice termination and origination to and from Bangladesh.

The company's underlying technology is a Next Generation Network (NGN) switching platform built on Huawei and Dialogic equipment, supporting both TDM and IP interworking via SIP, SIP-T and H.323 signaling with G.711/G.729/G.723 codecs. It operates a private MPLS backbone and owned/leased Points-of-Presence at Epsilon Global Hubs (London), Equinix SG3 (Singapore) and 1 Wilshire (Los Angeles), enabling low-latency A-Z termination. Through direct bilateral interconnections with 300+ incumbent, Tier 1, Tier 2 and calling-card operators across five continents, it carries more than 150 million international voice minutes per month. The service portfolio extends beyond IGW voice into SMS interconnection (planned), ITFS/UIFN (where it holds an exclusive license), Ubernet-branded broadband and MPLS data services, Mir Cloud IaaS (via sister company Coloasia), and enterprise IP PBX/IT solutions under the BTS Communications / MirNet unit.

Mir Telecom monetizes primarily through usage-based per-minute wholesale voice termination and recurring subscription or managed-service contracts for cloud, MPLS, IP PBX, hosting and DTH broadband; pricing is bilateral and not publicly listed. Its customer base spans international carriers (the primary segment), Bangladesh's domestic mobile and fixed-line operators, Bangladeshi enterprises and SMBs, and residential broadband subscribers. Sister companies Bangla Telecom (ICX), Coloasia (data center/PoI) and BTS Communication (IPTSP/MirNet) provide vertical integration across the domestic telecom value chain. The company is family-controlled under Managing Director Mir Nasir Hossain, has 101-250 direct employees, and operates from a 45,000+ sq. ft. facility footprint.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• BICS: Major global wholesale voice and data carrier (formerly Belgacom International Carrier Services), offering international voice termination, roaming, messaging and connectivity services. A like-for-like peer for Mir Telecom's wholesale voice termination and bilateral carrier interconnection business.
• IDT Corporation: US-based international voice carrier and wholesale termination specialist operating a global carrier services platform. Comparable business model to Mir Telecom's wholesale voice termination franchise, with bilateral interconnections and per-minute usage-based revenue from international carriers.
• Tata Communications: Global wholesale voice, data and cloud carrier with extensive PoP infrastructure worldwide. Comparable to Mir Telecom in international voice termination and enterprise data services, and a potential counterparty on carrier interconnections for Bangladesh-bound traffic.
• Telstra International: Asia-Pacific focused wholesale and enterprise carrier (subsidiary of Telstra) with global PoPs providing international voice, data and managed connectivity. Comparable to Mir Telecom's wholesale voice termination and MPLS/data services, particularly across Asia-Pacific routes served from Singapore.
• Summit Communications Limited: BTRC-licensed Bangladeshi IGW/ICX operator directly competing with Mir Telecom in international voice termination and interconnection services for the Bangladesh market. Operates a comparable bilateral carrier interconnection model and sells into the same international carrier and domestic operator customer base.
• 1Asia Alliance Gateway (Bangladesh): Bangladesh-licensed IGW operator and a sister concern in the 1Asia carrier group, providing international voice termination and carrier interconnection services that compete head-to-head with Mir Telecom for carrier and calling card customers.

Broad incumbents

• Grameenphone: Largest mobile operator in Bangladesh by subscribers (Telenor subsidiary) and a major domestic consumer of IGW/interconnection services. Its scale and ownership of substantial international capacity make it a benchmark incumbent in the same voice and data ecosystem where Mir Telecom operates.
• Robi Axiata: Second-largest mobile operator in Bangladesh (Axiata/NTT DoCoMo-backed), a significant IGW customer and increasingly a competitor as it expands enterprise data and digital services overlapping with Mir Telecom's enterprise and cloud portfolio.
• Banglalink Digital Communications: One of the largest mobile operators in Bangladesh (VEON subsidiary) and a significant buyer of IGW capacity from Mir Telecom. As a vertically integrated operator with its own international voice and data capabilities, it represents both a key customer and an indirect competitor on wholesale routes.
• BTCL (Bangladesh Telecommunications Company Limited): State-owned national telecommunications operator of Bangladesh offering fixed-line, mobile (Teletalk via affiliate), data and international gateway services. Overlaps with Mir Telecom on wholesale voice and enterprise connectivity, and as a state entity influences BTRC regulatory direction.
