The global human population has become one large biological race, due to the evolution of the telecommunications sector (telecom). In 2025, more than 5.5 billion people will utilise the internet and mobile technology to be interconnected. Telecom companies create various infrastructures to ensure that data in the form of audio, video, text, and voice gets transmitted for communication. Recent technologies have brought the telecom industry to the brink of evolution. In Myanmar, hailed as one of the world’s emerging economies, the telecommunications industry has played a major role in economic development. Among the major players in the Myanmar’s telecom market, one name has gained prominence in recent years. Whether the task be implementing the Traffic Management System in a large city, or laying out metropolitan fibre networks, providing broadband infrastructure, Eager Communications Group has completed them with elan.
The Government of Myanmar formed the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector to boost educational programmes for youth, e-governance and infrastructure development. With able assistance from the Asian Development Bank, the World Bank Group and Government support in the form of public sector loans, output-based aid and private sector finance have provided consistent revenue growth to the industry. Experts opine that the mobile and broadband segments will contribute to Myanmar’s economic development in the coming years.
In recent years, the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MoTC) has designed the Universal Service Strategy (2019 to 2026) and Spectrum Roadmap (2022 to 2026) regulations. These two policies will boost mobile broadband/5G services and infrastructure development in the telecom sector.
It is in these conditions that Eager Communications Group, established in 2014, has firmly cemented its name in the telecom industry by winning the reputed title of ‘Leading Telecommunication Solutions Provider in Myanmar 2025. The World Business Outlook Awards, in its fourth annual year, has again identified Eager Communications Group in the telecom sector for its remarkable contribution to setting new benchmarks in excellence for 2025 in the Southeast Asian region.
