Introduction4
Qubee is part of the Augere group. Qubee is a new and exciting company
from Augere providing fast and reliable broadband internet services to residential and
business customers across Bangladesh. Qubee believes that everyone should be able to
enjoy trouble-free access to the internet and the world of opportunities that it brings.

Qubee is the creation of a group of global telecoms professionals who saw that a new
technology called WiMAX could really change the internet experience for millions of
people worldwide. WiMAX means that people don’t need telephone lines or cable to get
connected: all people’s need is to live close enough to a transmitter to receive the internet
wirelessly. Qubee is busy building a network of base stations to offer their brand of
internet access right across Bangladesh. They’re starting in Dhaka, but quickly plan to do
the same in cities nationwide.
Qubee has gathered a highly talented team right here in Bangladesh to build a company
that’s determined to improve the internet experience for millions of people – not just
here, but ultimately all over the world.

History

Augere Wireless Broadband Bangladesh Ltd, one of the licensees to whom BTRC gave
license last year to run business providing Wimax
facility in Bangladesh, has inaugurated Wimax internet service in some selected areas of
the capital. The inauguration ceremony was held on 21st October in a hotel in Dhaka.
Augere named much-waited Wimax internet service "Qubee".
On its inauguration ceremony, Russel T Ahmed, head of marketing, Augere, said that the
service is initially being given in Gulshan, Banani, Mirpur, Bashundhara Residential
Area, and Uttara Residential & Commercial Area. Anyone living in these areas can
become a subscriber of the country's first Wimax service provider, Qubee. Augere said
that the service will be available in each part of the country in near future.
WiMax is a technology that provides wireless transmission of data using a variety of
transmission modes from point-to-multipoint links to portable and fully mobile internet
access. Bangladeshi internet users have been dying for this technology since past few
years.
Last year Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) arranged an
auction for starting Wimax business in Bangladesh. Augere, who has already started

Wimax Internet service in Bangladesh under the brand name "Qubee", is one of the four
winners of the auction.
After the launch of Wimax in Bangladesh with the hand of Augure wireless Broadband
Bangladesh Ltd, mixed reaction is seen among general people of the country. Most of
them are not satisfied due to the "Extreme Monthly Charge" applicable for Wimax
customers. However, on the inauguration ceremony of Qubee, it was said that the
monthly charge will be reduced by making some offers in future.
