Etisalat has signed an agreement with Alcatel-Lucent to extend the UAE-based carrier’s LTE coverage across its global footprint.

The deal includes a new partnership in Sri Lanka and is intended to help Etisalat develop an efficient and sustainable platform to deliver 4G services to its subscribers.

“This joint business collaboration with Alcatel-Lucent will enable our customers to experience cutting-edge broadband connectivity in terms of fast internet access, mobile TV applications, video streaming and video calls,” said Dumindra Ratnayaka, CEO at Etisalat Sri Lanka.
