He said, "Everything is going on and we hope officially we will make the demo by the beginning of August".
The company officials said they got the frequency from the BTRC for six months to operate the trail programme in the Dhaka region.

Ericsson Bangladesh is conducting the trial sharing sites with leading mobile phone operators Grameenphone, Telecom Malaysia International Bangladesh (AKTEL) and Warid Telecom International Ltd.
The company's managing director at its Dhaka office yesterday demonstrated one feature of 3G by making video calls within the trial network.
Bansal said in terms of high broadband technology, 3G can help the nation rather than any other upcoming technology.
Ericsson officials said 3G would be the perfect technology for commercial mobile broadband services as the technology offers the best way in terms of economies and spectrum efficiency.
3G technology-enabled network offers the users a wider range of more advanced services while achieving greater network capacity through improved spectral efficiency.
