Dialog Enterprise, the corporate solutions arm of Dialog Axiata PLC, has announced a strategic partnership with Havelock City to extend its state-of-the-art fibre optic network across the entire development.
Havelock City will now feature premier Gigabit capable connectivity, offered by Dialog Fibre with the lowest latency, while providing the basis for a multisensory experience for all residents, workers, and visitors.
Havelock City is the largest mixed-use development built in the heart of Colombo with both Residential and Commercial components. With eight of its Residential Apartment Towers completed and occupied by hundreds of satisfied homeowners, Havelock City Commercial Development is set to open its doors by mid-2022 with an International Standard Shopping Mall and a Grade ‘A’ Office Tower; named Mireka Tower. Havelock City is developed by Mireka Capital Land Ltd., a fully-owned subsidiary of Overseas Realty (Ceylon) PLC, a BOI approved flagship status quoted company, which is also the owner, manager and developer of the iconic World Trade Center, Colombo.
Dialog Axiata PLC Dialog Enterprise Group Chief Officer Navin Pieris said: “Colombo’s real estate market has always attracted large scale residential and mixed development projects which keep getting larger and more diverse, which in turn requires specialised business solutions to gain the required agility to compete and succeed. Being cognisant of this, we offer scalable network solutions that are supported by a team of experts to help our customers run multiple processes and applications flawlessly. The Havelock City project is one of the largest real estate projects in Colombo and unarguably one of the most iconic. So, we consider this opportunity to partner up as it’s enterprise ICT solutions provider, a truly irreplaceable privilege.”
Overseas Realty (Ceylon) PLC Group CEO/Director Pravir Samarasinghe said: “Being the largest residential development in Sri Lanka, situated on 18 acres of land, selecting the right ICT partner that can seamlessly cover such a large land extent while offering cost effective, end-to-end solutions is always a priority. It was also important to provide fibre optic enabled high-speed voice, data and telecommunication infrastructure for the occupants and visitors of both Mireka Tower and Havelock City Mall to connect effortlessly.
“Further, the residents of Havelock City will also have access to a portfolio of services such as broadband internet with Wi-Fi, IPTV, voice, and smart home solutions designed to enrich and celebrate luxury living. Thus, we are very pleased to partner with Dialog Enterprise to join the Dialog Fibre ultra-high-speed network to provide our customers with a superior connectivity experience.”
