BroTecs Technologies is an R&D and technology development company based in Bangladesh. I randomly came across it few weeks ago. First I thought it was one of those 'startups'. But after a bit digging, I realizee they were legit and was impressed by the work they have done in their respective field. Honestly didn't expect that much from a BD based technology company.
The 'busssines post' did a story on them, which gives an Idea.
There have been only a handful of stories of Bangladeshis that have managed to shake up the technology-driven world over the years while motivating and stirring up the minds of youths to join the race and do something bigger, braver and bolder.
This is one of those stories. It’s about Brotecs Technologies LLC, which has made a name for Bangladesh around the world and set a uniquely inspiring example for local tech enterprises.
This company has now become a mainstay for billion-dollar aviation companies like Bombardier, Gulfstream and Dassault that sell fighter jets and private executive planes in nearly 100 countries around the globe.
Brotecs co-founder Nahid Hossain is the man now these companies go to when they need to make sure the pilots and passengers of their aircraft are getting the facilities to maintain proper communication with the ground.
Brotecs has developed a technology for them that help aeroplane manufacturers with cheaper talk-time between the flyers and the ground. With this, an air-to-ground call costs only $1. It was $9 before.
The developer company specialises in air-to-ground communications that help celebrities and business tycoons make audio and video calls while travelling by air. They call it “the office in the sky.”
Becoming a global name
Global players like Honeywell, Rockwell Collins, Gogo Business Aviation, Viasat, Inmarsat and Satcom Direct, who control the SATCOM sector in the business aviation industry, now come to Brotecs for specific solutions.
“Our business has gone global. We provide customised solutions to Chinese businessmen, Arab sheikhs, European celebrities and American sports stars,” said Nahid.
Brotecs providess aviation IoT solution for more than 150 types of military aircraft around the world.
Its clients include government agencies of different countries, for which such information amounts to crucial intelligence and confidentiality is the top priority.
“We have developed next-generation technologies like NEXT, a smart cabin router that has built-in artificial intelligence. Products like NEXT have also opened up new means to solidify Brotecs’s stronghold in the global market,” Nahid said.
Aiming to innovate and develop technology to solve problems that can change people’s lives, Nahid and Brotecs have also come up with several other products. The company already has five patents under its name.

3. IP2BRI (ISDN BRI SIP Gateway)
IP2BRI is an advanced communication solution specially designed for Aviation industry that creates a bridge between ISDN BRI interfaces and next generation IP world. In order to support legacy systems it seamlessly integrates and extends all its IP based features to legacy system (ISDN BRI) via its array of low-level channel drivers and built-in hardware adapters on it’s Board. These channel drivers will act as a bridge / IP Adapter between the physical systems to next generation inbuilt IP PBX system.

And perhaps what is most interesting and relevant BroTecs has developed military grade communication solutions for potential defence applications.
AeroComm is the Satellite friendly end-to-end military grade secure communication solution for business aviation. It ensures high grade secure and real-time voice and messaging with strong, dynamic and end-to-end encryption. With advanced encryption technology, phone calls and text messages are private. AeroComm does not save any information about messages, calls, pictures, photos or phonebook on the server.
AeroComm uses standard encryption technologies including:
AeroComm uses our patented Satellite-friendly iSVC audio codec specifically designed for Aviation industry with the support of high latency & jittery satellite network. iSVC provides an adaptive audio quality based on current network conditions.

They have also expanded their busssines in variety of sectors including ITSP & TELECOM, Healthcare, marine solutions and Cyber Security.
In conclusion– I think BroTecs primary military-grade communication solutions should be on government and BD army's agenda. Perhaps this is an opportunity to start investing in domestic solutions with future potentials to expand and grow in more advanced and dedicated military com systems. Having provided 150 military aircrafts globally with their communication solution already, speaks of their credibility.
Also, their embedded system development, notablely bare metal firmware (FW) for sensors and Digital Signal Processing (DSP) has the potential for defence applications down the road if the scope can be expanded. (Advanced DSP is utilized in AESA radar)
