SLT-Mobitel completes infrastructure for 1mn fibre connections

SLT-Mobitel has marked a significant milestone by enabling the infrastructure to ensure the deployment of one million fibre connections under its accelerated fibre access development project.

The project aims to empower all communities, in every district in Sri Lanka, with high-speed, fibre-based broadband, enabling seamless access to transition into an era of digital services.  Completing the architecture for the deployment of one million fibre connections within a record period, SLT-Mobitel aims to reach two million connections by end-2023.

To-date, nearly 500,000 households in Sri Lanka are powered with fibre access, setting yet another benchmark demonstrating the next-level of end-user experience in the pathway to bridge the digital divide. 

 
With this landmark, SLT-Mobitel can proudly claim 40 percent of SLT-Mobitel wired connections are now deployed on fibre, enabling home broadband networks to be ready for disruptive innovation and transformation.
