TrueConf powers coordination of 31 radio stations across Bangladesh

About company

Bangladesh Betar is a state-owned radio broadcaster in Bangladesh established in 1971. Today, the company delivers news, educational programs and cultural content in six languages, acting as a trusted source of news and entertainment for millions of listeners across the country.

Task

Employees relied on fragmented messaging and conferencing apps. As a result, important files and work conversations were scattered across multiple platforms, slowing information exchange and creating security risks, which was unacceptable when handling sensitive data.

Due to concerns about the security of cloud-based services, Bangladesh Betar decided to replace its disparate cloud-based messaging and conferencing tools with a unified, internally controlled system. The key requirements were to maintain full control over communications, eliminate external dependencies and associated risks, and ensure strict compliance with information security standards.

Solution

Driven by the preference for an all-in-one solution, Bangladesh Betar deployed an on-premises unified communications platform developed by TrueConf.

TrueConf Server runs on the proprietary protocol, granting the broadcaster complete administrative control over the video collaboration system and ensuring independence from third parties.

The deployment of TrueConf Server within the broadcaster’s private network prevented data transfer to external servers. The solution consolidated all communications into all-in-one apps, uniting staff from country-distributed radio stations into a digital collaboration space for discussions, news coordination, and content release.

Results

The implementation of TrueConf Server marks a transformative step in Bangladesh Betar’s digitalization. By prioritizing security, scalability, and intuitive collaboration, the broadcaster has effectively addressed operational bottlenecks, resulting in a more cohesive and connected work environment.
