SLT connects LakSathosa chain to single IP network

CONNECTIVITY: Sri Lanka Telecom (SLT), has designed and implemented an integrated communication solution to LakSathosa, where all branches even in the most remote areas of the country are connected to LakSathosa branch network.

SLTs communication solution enables both data and voice services to all branches.

The solution encompasses a PABX which is used centrally to channel all the voice calls while data connectivity will ensure that all stock movements and employee interactions can be monitored and administered centrally.

Customers across the island shopping with LakSathosa now have access to the best prices for their commodity purchases and shop with a retail chain that is networked across the island providing faster and dependable service across all 50 outlets operational at present.

The current solution connects all 50 operational outlets, with the ability to connect all new outlets to the network at minimal cost.

Centrally connectivity is limited to a new port being defined in the LakSathosa network, thereby creating a scalable network which is ideal for a growing organisation such as LakSathosa.

SLTs Intelligent Solutions deliver next-generation communication with a number of key technologies and platforms in areas such as data, voice and networking.

These services are supported by a high-tech MPLS (Multi Protocol Label Switching) based IP backbone built on SLTs islandwide optical fibre ring network.

Chairman of LakSathosa Nihal Jayawardena and Chief Executive Officer of Sri Lanka Telecom Shuhel Anan exchanged agreements on behalf of the two organisations.
