SLT-MOBITEL announces “significant enhancement of its fibre network”

SLT-MOBITEL announced last week that it was revolutionizing connectivity across the country by unveiling significant enhancements to its fibre networks with ultra-high speed and lower latency navigating Sri Lanka’s digital transformation.

“SLT-Mobitel Fibre aims at providing superior dependable data connectivity and driving the adoption of high-speed broadband in the country, enhancing customers’ experience while taking proactive steps to ensure futuristic global connectivity,” the company said.

The world is connected digitally in more ways than ever before, and technology is everything. Nations and societies recognize the importance of keeping abreast with cutting-edge technology and high-speed connectivity as among the most essential components for growth; especially vital for an emerging digital economy to boost development, healthcare and education, the company explained.

“SLT-MOBITEL as the National ICT Solutions Provider is helping to shape the future of our nation, empowering and improving the quality of life for all citizens. Unleashing the power of fibre technology, SLT-Mobitel Fibre is building fibre networks that are robust, with unmatched speed, offering users innovative services via multiple devices, and thus enhancing user experience with endless possibilities and unlimited opportunities, the release said.

“SLT-Mobitel Fibre customers can now benefit from an unmatched data capacity and service reliability with exciting and uninterrupted download speeds of up to 100 to 1000 Mbps,” the release added.

“With the pandemic, Sri Lanka is witnessing an explosive growth in data usage due to higher data consumption from those working from home and also for online education,” it said. “SLT-Mobitel Fibre is another step in the company’s commitment to the nation, addressing the need for convenience and peace of mind from customers, as they navigate their lives in the new normal.”

The release explained that today’s homes are increasingly filled with a range of smart devices, each of which uses up bandwidth to connect to the internet. From smartphones, gaming systems and smart televisions to computers, tablets and even video doorbells, these devices need ample bandwidth to work well. Problems arise when a residence’s bandwidth is insufficient — especially when all of a home’s connected devices are working at once.

“In this context, SLT-Mobitel Fibre is a game-changer,” the release said. “The ultra-high speed connections provide cutting-edge technologies – which opens up a host of new opportunities for customers. SLT-MOBITEL offers strong, reliable, superfast broadband that is ideal for high-definition video streaming, heavy file downloads and uploads in a multi-device environment.”

“With SLT-Mobitel Fibre, customers are assured of superior data connectivity, ability to access multiple devices with no lagging and unlimited endless entertainment with exciting speeds backed by unmatched service reliability.”
