Since the start of the COVID-19 crisis, as customers, workforces and business processes adapt to a new operating model, the demand for broadband communication services has soared. The need to maintain robust network connectivity during the pandemic has never been more crucial or evident. In the new normal, it is more important than ever to ensure secure and stable connectivity.

SLT-MOBITEL has been successful, using insight and technical skills, in ensuring uninterrupted connectivity, while creating new connectivity-based digital products, services and propositions to empower Sri Lankans providing innovative exciting communication solutions and experiences.

The Government has embarked on a highly anticipated digital transformation journey to drive Sri Lanka towards a digitally empowered economy and into an innovative, knowledge and technology-based society. However, in order for all citizens to reap the benefits of digital technologies, the Government recognises the need to ensure that access to high-speed and affordable internet is available to all citizens including those in remote areas of the country.

It is the Government’s vision to ensure a ‘Digitally Inclusive and Prosperous Sri Lanka’ which is citizen-centric, promotes IT entrepreneurship and can establish Sri Lanka as a global innovation hub. Ensuring quality and affordable communication and internet facilities are also key considerations for the Government as this serves as the vehicle for a digital economy.

Accelerating this technology adoption for Sri Lanka is SLT-MOBITEL, the pioneer in broadband technology, driven to revolutionise internet usage across the country whilst expanding Sri Lanka’s broadband capacity. 

The company’s ultimate objective is to enable a digital future which is accessible to all. SLT-MOBITEL has invested billions of rupees towards its strategic vision of a digital Sri Lanka, through highly sophisticated international and local network infrastructure and many other support systems.

Today, the company’s island wide fibre network has boosted productivity and unlocked job opportunities across numerous sectors and socio-economic segments in Sri Lanka, making significant contributions towards economic development.
