The launch follows Dialog’s successful acquisition of a 100 MHz block in the 3500 MHz band and a 200 MHz block in the 27 GHz band during the 5G spectrum auction conducted by the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission of Sri Lanka (TRCSL).
Dialog 5G Ultra delivers ultra-fast speeds, low latency, and enhanced network performance, providing richer digital experiences for consumers and advanced capabilities for enterprises and industries. By leveraging both 3500 MHz spectrum for wide-area coverage and 27 GHz spectrum for high-capacity, gigabit-speed applications, Dialog is uniquely positioned to support future-ready digital services.
