Sri Lanka Telecom to power South Asia's tallest building

Sri Lanka Telecom announced that it is the Telecommunication Service Partner for the Colombo Lotus Tower project. SLT and the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission of Sri Lanka (TRCSL) recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with regards to the project amidst a gathering of officials from TRCSL, SLT and China National Electronics Import and Export Corporation (CEIEC).

Once completed, the Lotus Tower will stand at a total height of 350 metres, the tallest tower in South Asia, and will also act as a single transmission hub for telecommunications, digital TV and radio, helping to reduce the carbon footprint in the city whilst improving the quality of transmissions. It will include shopping centres, food courts, restaurants, banquet halls, and an observation deck.

Once the envisioned ICT infrastructure has been laid, other telecom operators will also have the opportunity to provide their services by leveraging the state-of-the-art ICT infrastructure at the Lotus Tower.
