Big Data can help companies to fight against COVID-19

Amid the global COVID-19 pandemic, the world, including Bangladesh, is experiencing, in many cases, the complete upheaval of daily life. The country is navigating new ways of educating children, running businesses, maintaining critical societal functions, all while trying to ensure the health and welfare of those affected.

Besides, this crisis has led to a sizeable increase in data traffic, higher demands for telecommunication services, and considerable pressure on networks all over the country. The stakes are high and growing, said a press release on Sunday.

It is Grameenphone’s commitment and responsibility to support the customers, businesses, and society-at-large. Grameenphone is continuously investing in secure and reliable networks. This is now more important than ever as Grameenphone sees increasing load in the networks across the country due to the crisis.

Sigve Brekke, CEO, Telenor Group, said, “Grameenphone will continue its significant investments despite the economic uncertainty created by COVID-19. Grameenphone is committed to expand its networks and infrastructure to ensure reliable and stable networks, maintain productivity, and protect access to vital services.”

Moreover, Grameenphone continues to focus on collaboration in this period related to children’s access to the internet and continued educational learning. Grameenphone has been collaborating with Telenor Group and UNICEF to promote safer digital participation and create access to quality education through the Child Online Safety Program. The program has been designed to build a better understanding, awareness, and sensitivity around the safety measure that both students and guardians can adopt to ensure a positive digital learning experience.
