SLT-MOBITEL launches SD WAN services for enterprise customers

SLT-MOBITEL launched their first ever SLTMobitel SDWAN Service as a fully managed service for large and medium enterprises and government institutions. SLT-MOBITEL undertook this endeavour in keeping with their mission to support enterprises and to encourage timely transformation across the digital arena, as the country’s leading Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) service provider.

Businesses view the cloud as a key part of their strategy and innovation. The larger the business, the more users, devices, and things consume applications. As the pace of business increases, this results in a highly complex and dynamic network. The preferred method of connecting users to applications is shifting from dedicated MPLS connectivity, which is a fast data carrying technique to access data centres, and less connectivity to using the internet as a result. Branch Internet Edge connectivity becomes business critical for cloud movement. These influences create opportunities for increased exposure to cyber threats. It also means that there is an opportunity for inconsistent user experiences as application access is no longer reliant only on private networks. Complexity in adapting to changes in business needs and technical realities increases as well. This is where SLTMobitel SDWAN becomes a core component of modernization, secure application delivery and resilient business capabilities.

Commenting on the initiative CEO of SLT, Kiththi Perera said, “SLT-MOBITEL decided to bring this concept to fruition for the ease of our customers. Within the digital journey of enterprises across various verticals, we recognized that movement of applications to cloud was becoming a growing necessity. Being the country’s national telecommunication service provider, running an extended program connecting all the enterprises via fibre last mile, we believed it was our responsibility to address these growing demands from our customers, individuals and businesses alike.”
