IPLC costingIPLC costing
IPLC cost has 3(three) / 4(four) cost segmentTotal cost = Backhaul cost at local end + wet-segment
(through SMW4 submarine cable, under the sea) or satellite segment cost (half or full circuit) + backhaul cost at the distant end.
At present IPLC through SMW4 submarine cable is more popular than that of Satellite as the cost through submarine is much more cheaper.
In Bangladesh end SEA-ME-WE-4 is owned by BSCCL and backhaul is owned by Backhaul Service Provider license holders by BTRC and BTCL is one of them.
Local Backhaul Wet Segment Cost Distant Backhaul Cost
•IPLC: International Private Leased Circuit• IPLC is used for data and corporate voice of an international company, offices destined in two countries e.g. Huawei has its corporate office at Shenzhen, China and Dhaka, Bangladesh. They can apply for, say 2 Mbps, IPLC between Shenzhen and Dhaka• IPLC can not be connected to any PSTN network.
