SGH TowerCo (Pvt) Ltd, the telecommunications and network infrastructure arm of Supreme Global Holdings (SGH), has announced that it has been officially granted a Telecommunications Infrastructure Services License by the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission of Sri Lanka (TRCSL).
This follows the issuance of Sri Lanka’s first such license to EDOTCO last week, with SGH TowerCo now becoming the first Sri Lankan-owned company to be granted this prestigious license.
Issuing a statement, SGH TowerCo (Pvt) Ltd said it marks a defining moment for the nation, ensuring that local ownership and expertise are part of Sri Lanka’s digital future
Bringing Global Values to Sri Lanka
In line with global leaders in digital infrastructure investment, SGH TowerCo aspires to bring the same values of innovation, sustainability, and scalability to Sri Lanka. The company is committed to building next-generation connectivity infrastructure that bridges urban-rural divides, promotes inclusive growth, and ensures Sri Lanka is prepared for the 5G era and beyond.
SGH TowerCo’s mission is to act as a neutral-host provider, enabling infrastructure sharing across operators, reducing duplication, and driving efficiency. This model – proven globally – frees telecom operators to focus on enhancing services while ensuring the nation has robust, future-ready infrastructure.
Empowering Sri Lanka’s Digital Economy
By leveraging cutting-edge technologies and global partnerships, SGH TowerCo will expand network coverage from bustling cities to underserved rural communities.
With mobile data demand projected to quadruple by 2028, the company is poised to provide the backbone for Sri Lanka’s digital economy – forecasted to grow from USD 2.3 billion in 2023 to USD 15 billion by 2030.
Independent tower companies like SGH TowerCo play a pivotal role in accelerating this growth. Their presence fosters:
- Faster rollout of networks through shared infrastructure.
- Lower costs for telecom operators, allowing greater focus on innovation.
- Improved service quality and wider reach, including rural areas.
- Stronger foreign and local investment confidence, with global-standard infrastructure solutions.
A Landmark Policy Shift & Recognition of SGH TowerCo’s Vision
This milestone follows Sri Lanka’s first amendment to the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission Act in 28 years, a historic reform spearheaded by H.E. President Anura Kumara Dissanayake, in his capacity as Minister of Digital Economy, together with the new government. The amendment opens the sector to independent tower companies equipped with the capabilities and vision to drive the next era of growth.
SGH TowerCo accepts this recognition with a profound sense of responsibility: to accelerate Sri Lanka’s digital transformation, expand inclusive connectivity, and empower both citizens and businesses to thrive in a rapidly evolving digital economy.
