KUALA LUMPUR, Edotco Group Sdn Bhd’s subsidiary, Edotco Services Lanka (Private) Ltd, has been granted Sri Lanka’s first telecommunications infrastructure services licence by the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission of Sri Lanka (TRCSL).
In a statement on Wednesday, Edotco said the initiative aims to fast-track Sri Lanka’s digital transformation through improved infrastructure, digital skills development, and a stronger legislative framework to support the growth of its digital economy.

The licence allows Edotco to provide a full range of infrastructure services critical to national connectivity, covering both passive and active solutions. These include tower and pole structures, fibre networks, indoor coverage systems such as IBS and small cells, as well as other active network components essential to the country’s digital ecosystem.
Edotco Sri Lanka country managing director Gayan Koralage said the licence reflects confidence in the group’s expertise and reinforces its commitment to advancing Sri Lanka’s connectivity landscape.
“As a licensed provider, Edotco will act as a trusted partner for mobile operators and government stakeholders to deliver reliable, high-quality infrastructure, ensuring inclusive connectivity for all communities. With the country requiring over 7,000 new towers to meet 5G demand and data usage projected to quadruple by 2028, Edotco is well-positioned to address this gap,” he said.
Edotco is one of Asia’s leading digital connectivity infrastructure providers, managing a portfolio of more than 58,000 towers across nine markets: Malaysia, Bangladesh, the Philippines, Indonesia, Cambodia, Pakistan, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, and Laos.
