Telephone Shilpa Sangstha (TSS) Limited has planned to manufacture Tablet and Netbook on its own in a bid to facilitate building digitised Bangladesh.
The state-owned company has taken the initiative, considering the market demand of the devices. The price of the items will range between Tk15,000 and Tk18,000.
Primarily, 2,000 TSS tablet devices will hit the market while more products will follow suit based on the market demand.
Telephone Shilpa Sangstha aims to reduce the dependency of import through replication of its diversified work and wants to turn out to be an electronic zone by producing different types of Telecom and electronic items.
TSS Managing Director Asadul Islam told the Dhaka Tribune they will launch the new tablet within a very short time to give customers better experiences.
“In most cases, products of different global brands are very costly. Considering this, we always try to provide better product for our dearest customers at an affordable price,” he added.
TSS acts as an auxiliary institution for digitisation of Bangladesh through its diversified products, Asadul said, adding that environment friendly technology would be used to manufacture products.
The prime minister launched the distribution of ‘Doel’, the first Laptop manufactured in the country in 2011.
TSS introduced Laptops of four models with price ranging between Tk10,000 and Tk26,000. A few months later it stopped manufacturing for having failed to produce quality products.
Seeking anonymity, an official of TSS said the Tablet price will go around Tk18,000 while the Netbook price is fixed at Tk15,000.
The equipment for both products will be imported from China.
Besides assembly, TSS would also produce a number of products including mother board and the cover of Laptop in its own factory, said the official.
