Sri Lanka Telecom, the national ICT solutions provider in the country launched its latest carrier-grade Wi-Fi hotspot at the University of Peradeniya. 
The Company has expanded its location based Wi-Fi services with a view of facilitating broadband Internet users with reliable, high-speed Internet connectivity options. Prof. Upul B. Dissanayake, Vice Chancellor of the University and P. G. Kumarasinghe Sirisena, the Chairman of SLT Group, signed the official agreement. 
Academics who are studying at the University of Peradeniya are now able to experience the next evolution in wireless broadband connectivity, as SLT expands Sri Lanka’s first carrier-grade Wi-Fi network. 
The company believes the ‘SLT Wi-Fi’ solution is set to revolutionise the mobile computing experience for end-users like academics, travellers etc. The company will be further expanding its Wi-Fi hotspot service, which is the Next Generation Wireless Broadband Access technology to improve the overall quality of the country’s broadband footprint empowering more citizens in the country with a superior broadband experience.
Students with SLT Broadband connections in their homes will get immense freedom to get connected to any of SLT’s public Wi-Fi Hotspots by using the same Broadband username and password, which they use at home to connect to the internet. The pre-paid Wi-Fi option will also further enhance convenience for Internet users. Further, users will get FREE access to the university’s contents available on their web site (www.pdn.ac.lk). 
Prof. Upul B. Dissanayake, Vice-Chancellor of the University said, “The country’s education sector especially, requires special attention to achieve the goals towards a knowledge based economy.  I believe ICT is the key to bring about a better future, and empower Sri Lanka citizens to march towards the mission of conquering the world one day. 
We are fully geared to bring technological advancements to the higher education sector enabling academics to actively participate in the country’s development activities.  SLT’s active participation in this empowerment mission is very much needed at this crucial stage and we truly appreciate their contribution.”
P. G. Kumarasinghe Sirisena, the Chairman of SLT Group commenting at this occasion said, “This is the Next Generation Wireless Broadband Access technology, and was launched with the intention of expanding the country’s broadband footprint to empower more citizens in the country with access to a superior broadband experience.
