Edotco brings ‘smart city’ telecom infrastructure solutions to Sri Lanka

Edotco Group Sdn Bhd, a global leader in integrated telecommunications infrastructure services, announced that they have begun work on the installation of the first neutral host poles and power solutions in Sri Lanka.

At the ground-breaking ceremony for the first pole of its kind this morning, Suresh Sidhu, Chief Executive Officer of Edotco Group said, “Independent sharing solutions based infrastructure is a key pillar of the telecoms industry where reliable network services are imperative especially in a growing economy like Sri Lanka and independent infrastructure companies like us are well positioned to facilitate and manage this development”.

“This project will also see the first set of energy efficient telecom solutions being set up along Marine Drive. Unlike traditional infrastructure, Edotco’s Smart City solutions introduce the latest technological evolutions that serve multiple purposes. Understanding the importance of aesthetics in urban development, our innovative solutions are sleek, camouflaged, green and blend well with town-planning for modern metropolis cities. The smart urban connectivity systems have also integrated advertising space, environmental information sources, smart street lighting, smart parking and even flood monitoring systems.” he added. 

The multi-purpose poles being erected on Marine Drive will be constructed under the guidance of the Road Development Authority of Sri Lanka. 

Edotco currently operates and manages towers with Dialog and hope to expand into new tower builds in the near future, actively contributing to the country’s competitiveness, social integration and enhanced quality of life for its people.
