Ericsson has been present in Bangladesh since 1997, supporting its customers through a local branch office, Ericsson AB – Branch Office Dhaka. In early 2006, it incorporated under the Bangladesh laws as LM Ericsson Bangladesh Limited (EBL), to establish a full-fledged company. Ericsson first started selling its equipments in Bangladesh to BTTB back in 1970. But the operational base in Dhaka was setup only when the mobile phone market started to take shape with the awarding of GSM licenses in 1996. Today, Ericsson Bangladesh is a partner to all major operators in the country.
 
With a staff-strength of more than 400, it is presently the country’s largest end-to-end telecommunications solutions provider with complete in-country expertise and support team.  Being part of Ericsson’s Market Unit South East Asia, it has access to a diversified group of technical, solutions and services experts from around the region.
