EDOTCO Bangladesh has installed the country’s first fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) tower in Gopalganj, marking a new step in the evolution of telecom infrastructure in Bangladesh.
The company, in collaboration with HS Engineering and Technology Ltd, deployed the new-generation tower to improve installation efficiency, durability, and environmental performance. Compared to conventional steel structures, the FRP tower is lighter, corrosion-resistant, and easier to transport and assemble.
According to EDOTCO officials, the FRP structure can be installed within five to six hours with limited use of heavy machinery, which helps reduce installation time and community disturbance.

“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, 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 composite material used in the tower provides resistance to rust, weathering, and chemical exposure, making it suitable for coastal and industrial regions where traditional steel towers tend to degrade faster. Over its service life, the FRP tower can reduce maintenance requirements by up to 40%, as it does not require repainting or anti-corrosion treatment.

EDOTCO officials said the new design also helps reduce lifecycle costs and environmental impact, while its simplified structure offers a cleaner and more compact appearance.
The company plans to deploy more FRP towers in other parts of the country based on site conditions and operational needs. The initiative is part of EDOTCO’s broader effort to develop resilient and sustainable network infrastructure to support Bangladesh’s growing demand for digital connectivity.
