What ADN Telecom does

ADN Telecom Limited is a Bangladesh-based, publicly listed (DSE/CSE ticker ADNTEL) integrated telecommunications and ICT service provider founded in 2003. The company operates a national network infrastructure comprising 600+ Points of Presence, 9 regional hubs, coverage across 64 districts and 400+ upazillas, and 60,000+ active circuits. Its service portfolio spans five segments: connectivity (Internet Service, IP/VPN, MPLS, IPLC, LAN, VSAT), data center (hosting, co-location, domain registration, mail/website hosting, public cloud), IP telephony (IP PBX, call center solutions, SMS, dynamic IVR, voice broadcast), security (surveillance, access control, AML, drone solutions), and IoT (Wi-Fi-based indoor IoT, smart city, smart office). The company also resells Microsoft 365 and provides managed services. It serves enterprise clients across banking, manufacturing, FMCG, telecommunications, aviation, energy, and government — including Wells Fargo-tier multinationals such as Samsung, Siemens, Coca-Cola, Chevron, Boeing, DHL, Ericsson, and Nestle, alongside state-owned banks (Janata Bank, Sonali Bank) and government entities (JICA, Embassy of Sweden, UN peacekeeping missions).

The business is monetized through subscription-recurring connectivity and data center contracts, managed-services engagements for security and IoT deployments, and (since 2023) B2C internet subscriptions under the Udoy brand. GTM is sales-led: regional offices in Dhaka, Chittagong, Khulna, and Sylhet, supported by dedicated domestic and international hotlines, target enterprise clients directly, while a separate B2C channel drives the Udoy consumer proposition. Strategic alliances with Singtel, Tata Communications, BT, Orange, Airtel Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka Telecom extend international reach. The company has built a vertical stack of nine wholly-owned subsidiaries covering international gateway, technology, networking, digital, education, media, and development services, and holds ISO 27001 certification plus BTRC-approved tariff status.
