Sri Lanka’s first ever multi-channel broadcasting tower

The Sri Lanka government will open the tallest self supporting transmission tower in South East Asia - the Kokavil Transmission tower in Mullaitivu District - on 6 June, Sri Lanka Telecommunication Regulatory Commission’s Director General Anusha Pelpita said.

The Telecommunication Regulatory Commission of Sri Lanka has spent Rs. 330 million (US$ 3 milllion) to construct the 174 metre multi purpose transmission tower. He said that the tower will provide the people of the North with better access to radio, TV and internet facilities after 30 years.

The tower will also be used to introduce digital radio and television transmission using the Digital Video Broadcasting’s DVB-T2 digital terrestrial broadcasting standard through the Kokavil tower for the entire Northern Province.
