Prof Marasinghe adds, Telekom’s new system will offer to SINU indial and other standard telephone facilities which the current system cannot offer.
“The new system will replace the existing system, which has over-lived its designed life and as such lacks required capacity to meet current and future telephone needs of the university.”
