Sri Lanka Telecom (SLT) has launched the Xyntac brand in order to better position itself in the market as a true global carrier.

Xyntac will promote voice and data services along with innovative digital services to cater for evolving global market requirements. The Xyntac brand was launched at ITW 2019, which was held in Atlanta and attended by 7,000 delegates from over 2,000 companies, representing more than 130 countries.

“The launch of Xyntac brand by our global team is a remarkable milestone in our journey to become a global player. ITW was the ideal occasion to launch Xyntac, since it is an annual meeting and networking platform for the global wholesale telecom industry. Thus, Xyntac received the full attention of the global telecom fraternity at the event,” said Kiththi Perera, chief executive officer of SLT.

“We were fortunate to be able to meet up with SLT’s current international business partners and the general wholesale telco community to communicate Xyntac’s products and services. Xyntac will operate as the global business unit of SLT and expand to cater to the global wholesale community.”

Xyntac has already started developing its IP backbone network and expanding its service portfolio to colocation, cloud and evolving digital services. The company said: “Xyntac’s ISP service (ASN: 45489) has been ranked among the first 100 global internet service providers and it is proud to be the first Sri Lankan telco to be listed among the global ISP giants."

Xyntac aims to be a key regional player by providing global services through major investments in multiple international submarine cable systems, such as: SEA-ME-WE 5, SEA-ME-WE 4, SEA-ME-WE 3, Bharat-Lanka (between India & Sri Lanka), Dhiraagu-SLT (between Maldives & Sri Lanka), and multiple interconnected data centres.

Xyntac’s international PoPs are spread across the US, Europe and Asia, which will enable faster deployment of services around the globe. Xyntac will also boost SLT’s plans to expand the business to new territories and emerging markets in the world.
