NovoCom

What NovoCom does

NovoCom Limited is a Bangladesh-based licensed International Gateway (IGW) operator and cross-border data connectivity provider, incorporated in 2013 as the telecommunications arm of the diversified NovoCom Group. The company delivers IPLC (International Private Leased Circuit), L2/L3 Global MPLS VPN, IP Transit, Dedicated Internet Access (DIA), Gateway Services at the Bangladesh-India border (Benapole), and National Internet Exchange (NIX) services. It also manufactures optical fiber cable through its wholly-owned NovoOFC subsidiary. The underlying network is built on MPLS with EoSDH transport infrastructure, with redundancy provided by both International Terrestrial Cable (ITC) and Sub Sea Cable (SMW4 & SMW5) systems. A 24/7 Dedicated Network Operations Center (NOC) staffed by experienced engineers monitors and supports the network.

The company serves four primary B2B customer segments: Telecommunications Operators requiring international connectivity and gateway services, International Gateways (IGW/IIG) needing border interconnection with Indian carriers (Tata Communications, Bharti Airtel, Reliance Jio), Banks requiring secure and fault-tolerant data connectivity, and Corporate Houses needing enterprise-grade DIA, MPLS, and IPLC services. Points of Presence span all metropolitan cities of Bangladesh, with international POPs in Singapore, the UK, India, and Hong Kong. The go-to-market motion is direct enterprise field sales with relationship-based, consultative selling.

NovoCom generates revenue from recurring managed network services (IPLC, MPLS VPN, IP Transit, DIA — subscription-style), gateway interconnection fees, NIX traffic exchange, and NovoOFC hardware sales. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured per customized enterprise requirements and SLAs. The company is privately held under the NovoCom Group conglomerate, with no disclosed funding rounds, investors, or financial figures.
