Currently, the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission of Sri Lanka (TRCSL) is in the process of facilitating 5G commercial licence issuance in Sri Lanka, and upon receipt of necessary authorisation, SLT-Mobitel aims to expand its 5G network further unlocking the digital advancement and contributing to a more inclusive digital economy, the company stated.
