Suntel is history now

The country’s first-ever wireless fixed line operator Suntel is now history.

Dialog Axiata said yesterday that following the completion of the amalgamation of Suntel Ltd., with its parent Dialog Broadband Networks Ltd., Suntel will cease to exist as a corporate entity from 15 May. Its assets, liabilities and operations in their entirety have been subsumed by Dialog Broadband Networks Ltd., a subsidiary of Dialog Axiata.

Suntel’s fixed telecom infrastructure is based on a 382 base station strong network delivering fixed voice, broadband and data communication services using CDMA, WiMax and other fixed wireless access technologies.

In December last year Dialog Broadband acquired Suntel for $ 27.95 million.
