For the past many years many of the countries in the South East Asian region were importing fiber optic cables from Japan, South Korea, USA and European countries. They are the early flying birds in the technology, where the infrastructure is slowly coming to a stagnant phase. Fiber optics is relatively a new entrant in many of the south east Asian countries.
For example, the biggest single economy in South East Asia, India was importing fiber optic cables from Japan and USA mainly before the 1985s. Hindustan Cables Ltd, the first Government owned factory in India for fiber optic cables started at Allahabad that has the machineries to produce central tube fiber cables and ribbon slotted core cables. Subsequent years witnessed the growth of fiber optics in India and birth of many fiber optic cable companies. Currently there are more than 13 manufacturing companies in India actively involved in supply of fiber optic cables in the domestic market as well as engaged in export to neighboring countries.
The purpose of this post is to focus on the fiber optic cable companies in Myanmar and Bangladesh in specific. Both these countries were totally depending on China and India to a large extent for their internal consumption of fiber optic cables. Companies in India and China could get good business by exporting fiber optic cables to these countries. Price of fiber optic cables also dropped drastically due to the heavy competition in the market.
The first fiber optic cable company in Bangladesh was announced some two years before, but the commercial production has started recently. This blog has reported the birth of the first fiber optic cable company in Bangladesh, short named as BCSL – Bangladesh Cable Shilpa Limited. Two years ago, when we reported the news, the name of the company was written as BSCL – Bangladesh Shilpa Cable Limited. BCSL was in to the production of Jelly filled telephone cables after its establishment with the help of Siemens in 1967.
BCSL is now set to produce fiber optic cables that is believed to fulfill majority of domestic demand. This will lead to further competition in the market.
MPT, Myanmar Post and Telegraph has been the biggest consumer of telecommunication cables in Myanmar, which is a neighboring country of Bangladesh. Myanmar was also depend on India and China for fiber optic cables. The recent past has witnessed the birth of one fiber optic cable company in Myanmar. The name of the company is Yadanarbon fiber optic cable company.
The new fiber optic cable manufacturing company in Myanmar is situated in Yadanarbon city, outside Pyin Oo Lwin in Mandalay Division. The set up cost of the factory is estimated as US dollars 2 million. The company has five shareholder companies, including A1 Construction and Thawdar Win companies.
With four lines of production machines, Yadanarbon Fiber Optic Cable company can produce 18,000 kms of fiber optic cables in a year. The company can supply duct, direct buried and aerial cables of different fiber counts.
With the set up of fiber optic cable companies in Myanmar and Bangladesh, the South East Asian region, which may have the lowest fiber optic cable prices, will observe further competition. If quality is taken care, the competition is good for the service providers to lay more and more fiber optic cables, that will act as a catalyst to the growth of fiber optics in the region.
