KUALA LUMPUR: Edotco Group says its subsidiary Edotco Services Lanka (Private) Limited has been officially awarded Sri Lanka's first telecommunications infrastructure services licences by the country's telco regulatory commission.
According to the telco, the licence grants Edotco authorisation to provide a comprehensive suite of infrastructure services
essential for national connectivity, spanning both passive and active infrastructure solutions.
These include tower and pole structures, fibre, indoor network solutions such as IBS and small cells, and other active
network components vital to Sri Lanka’s digital ecosystem
The development follows the recent Sri Lanka Telecommunications (Amendment) Act, which for the first time introduces a distinct licensing framework for infrastructure providers, formally recognising the critical role of neutral-host tower companies in the country’s digital ecosystem.
"With the nation needing over 7,000 additional towers to support 5G ambitions and data usage expected to quadruple by 2028, Edotco is ready to bridge this infrastructure gap,” said Gayan Koralage, country managing director, Edotco Sri Lanka, in a statement.
