New Delhi, July 24: Telecom service provider Bharti AirtelWednesday said that its high capacity terrestrial optical fiberlink between India and Bangladesh has been activated.
The link, which extends from Bongaon in West Bengal to the Petrapole-Benapole border, will enhance voice and data connectivity between the two countries as well as transit traffic between Bangladesh and the rest of the world.

Red: Information was sourced from a restricted document (for example on TIES), a potentially unreliable publicly available source (such as a third party), may contain information which is confidential or regarded as sensitive by the network operator, and/or is very old and could be out of date (if it is more than 3-5 years old). Information must be validated by network operator or stakeholder to provide clearance that the information is correct, up-to-date, and is not confidential.
Amber: Information was not taken from a publicly available source, may be unreliable because of difficulties reading or interpreting the source material, and/or may be old and out of date. Operator is asked to provide clearance that the information is correct, up-to-date, and is not confidential.
Green: Information was sourced from an authentic, reliable publicly available source (such as a company website, annual report, presentation, or other publication), and has been deliberately put into the public domain by the network operator or administration (it is therefore not confidential). The information is current and correct, and there is no reason why a public version could not be put into the public domain.
Public: Information has been actively checked and validated by stakeholder through the TIES interactive web map platform, specifically granting permission for this information to be put into the public domain.
Each link in the map is given a validation status. We use a simple trafficlight system:
