September, 3, 2025

Edotco Group Sdn Bhd’s subsidiary, Edotco Services Lanka (Private) Ltd, has been awarded Sri Lanka’s first telecommunications infrastructure services licences by the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission of Sri Lanka (TRCSL).

In a statement on Wednesday, Edotco Group said the national initiative is designed to accelerate Sri Lanka’s digital transformation by enhancing infrastructure, building digital skills and strengthening the legislative framework for a thriving digital economy.

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.

Edotco Sri Lanka’s country managing director, Gayan Koralage, said the licence represented a strong vote of confidence in the group’s capabilities and its commitment to advancing the country’s connectivity landscape.

“As a licensed provider, Edotco will serve as a trusted platform for mobile operators and government stakeholders to deliver high-quality, resilient infrastructure, ensuring that no community is left behind.

“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,” he said.

Edotco is a leading digital connectivity infrastructure services company in Asia, with a portfolio of over 58,000 towers across nine countries: Malaysia, Bangladesh, the Philippines, Indonesia, Cambodia, Pakistan, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, and Laos.
