Routing Process: When a call

originates from a mobile or fixed
operator's network and is intended for
another network, the ICX receives the
call. If the call is destined for a local
subscriber within the same network,
the ICX routes it directly to the
appropriate endpoint. Conversely, if
the call is international, the ICX directs
it to the relevant IGW for international
routing. Calls received from IGWs,
originating from international sources,
are also delivered to the designated
subscriber within Bangladesh through
the ICX network.
