Subscribers to the new service will be corporate users including banks, call centres and ISPs who are using the fledgling international fibre service provided by BTTB.

Many of the new fibre customers are forced to maintain expensive dedicated satellite back up capability. Sure2Link service will be a low cost but reliable alternative to that.

The Sure2Link Internet service will be available 24x7 on an hourly charge basis to customers holding pre-paid service cards issued by Genuity Systems Ltd of Dhaka, a subsidiary of Genusys Inc. The refundable pre-paid cards are available in denominations of $100. Customers only pay for each hour they use the satellite back up service.

Customers to the Sure2Link service are connected to the Genuity Dhaka VSAT hub in Mirpur through the Dhaka metro fibre ring or other dedicated fibre links or wireless links. When there is an international fibre outage subscribers can log onto the Sure2Link web site (www.sure2link.com), enter the data rate they require and PIN number and get connected by satellite to the US Internet backbone within few minutes.
