65% market share in data services

SLT provides data circuits with a capacity of between 64 kbps and 2 Mbps, and in multiples thereof.

The services provided include Domestic and International Private Leased Circuits (IPLC), Frame Relay (FR) Circuits, Internet Leased Lines (ILLs), Direct Inward Dialling (DID) and Direct Outward Dialling (DOD) connections. Customers for these services include mobile operators, data services operators, Internet service providers, software developers, banks and other large institutions.

IP-VPN
The Company continues to grow its Virtual Private Networks (VPN) product offering to an ever increasing clientele from the business sector who seek a modern solution to their need for an integrated voice, data and video communications system.

Our IP-VPN services are offered on a Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) platform which is provided to customers anywhere in the country with access beyond the MPLS system provided via leased lines, frame relay or Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL).

For the future, we are looking to expand our IP backbone geographically within Sri Lanka, whilst extending IP-VPN services globally and enhancing the value added options it offers.

SLT-iDC - Our One-Stop ‘Data City’
SLT truly moved into its role as a total communications solution provider, with the inauguration of a state-of-the-art Internet Data Centre.

SLT-iDC is a unique answer to a growing need in the modern business world. Companies the world over, whose core business does not lie within the IT sphere, are becoming increasingly wary about incurring additional investment in the technology,
staffing and facility upgrades they would require to maintain their own in-house data facilities.

Outsourcing was a logical way to go, once we took care of the security aspect.

Ours is a classic facility, 80 square metres in extent, offering data housing, hosting and management.

In terms of data housing, we offer rack space and bandwidth, advanced physical security and uninterrupted power, network port and availability.

Our dedicated hosting services provide servers on rent, dedicated to customers, with their selected operating systems and web or application server. We also offer speedy and easier corporate business start-up.

The Centre offers a Shared Hosting Facility which involves a provision on server for shared resource, creation of mail and web servers, using the customer’s own domain name and speedy start-up of SME and Government web sites.

Managed services include Advanced Management and Security Tools for managed services, a selectable menu programme such as back up, firewall security, monitoring and reporting and total customer support.

The Centre is housed in a state-of-the-art facility, within SLT’s Head Office and features highly sophisticated structural, management and security systems.
