Sri Lanka Telecom (SLT) established a second link to Jaffna with the recent commissioning of its 2nd transmission tower in Jaffna, under its "Project Hope" for the North, launched in 2002. This was a landmark in SLT's Northern Area Development Program, by providing two communication routes to Jaffna.

With the commissioning of the new 150 m high stand-alone tower, [The highest such communication tower in the country], the radio transmission link to Jaffna which was till then operating to Jaffna over the sea via Mannar has been upgraded to an ultra-modern high capacity transmission link, entirely land based.

The capacity of the new link via Kilinochchi will be 126 Megabits per second (Mbps) generally referred to as a STM 1 (Synchronous Transmission Module) link.

SLT established a 34 Megabit radio transmission link over the sea to Jaffna via Mannar last year under its Project Hope. The upgraded new link bringing two high capacity links to Jaffna operates to Jaffna via Kilinochchi, where too SLT has built a new communication tower.
