Etisalat launches LTE ready 3.75G network

Etisalat deployed a Long Term Evolution (LTE) ready network for the first time in Sri Lanka, with their 3.75G HPSA+ (Evolved high speed packet access) wireless network, making it the first and only all-IP based network in Sri Lanka which has the infrastructure capability of providing a data rate up to 42 Mbps (megabits per second), using dual carrier technology.

Etisalat demonstrates an impressive data rate of 18- 21 Mbps over and above, which is limited by the availability of devices capable of supporting such speed.

Sri Lanka will experience fast, smart and meaningful Broadband services - very fast Internet access, mobile TV applications, video streaming and video calls. The expansion further supports the latest in Value Added Services (VAS), Billing and all IT/communication services.
