Background

Being a developing country in the third world, Sri Lanka still, very often, appears to lag behind in terms of its ability to provide cutting edge opportunities and resources for our youth to pursue and excel in careers that are gaining immense global prominence.

Objective

  • Improved local technical R&D capacity.
  • Improved capacity to develop technology solutions based on local requirements.
  • An environment created for innovative ideas to become reality.
  • Retention of local skilled labour within the country.

Beneficiaries

University graduates with interest in the Electrical and Telecommunication Engineering fields.

Overview

The first ever research lab for Telecommunication Technologies Research was opened at the Moratuwa University, which is acclaimed to be one of the best in Sri Lanka for Engineering and Telecommunication Programs.

The first of its kind in Sri Lanka, the laboratory, which specializes in Applied Mobile Telecommunication Technologies Research, was set up as a part of Dialog’s social investment towards uplifting and facilitating research & development and higher learning in Sri Lanka.

Applied research projects and product development initiatives, that are beneficial to the industry, and are academically challenging are undertaken by the laboratory, whilst providing for technology transfer with similar research bodies.

New ideas in wireless communication, which encompass the spheres of designing, prototyping, testing, and training, are explored, with the objective of developing new products and services that will serve the purpose of taking Sri Lanka to the forefront of mobile technologies, thereby ensuring Sri Lanka’s place in the challenging and evolving world of mobile technology.

Two creations of the laboratory – a remotely activated GSM alarm device and a learning management system – are being used in two Dialog-supported national initiatives namely the Disaster and Emergency Warning Network (DEWN) and the Digital Bridge respectively.

“The Dialog-University of Moratuwa Moratuwa Mobile Communications Research laboratory is a realization of the University’s dream to actively interact with the private sector for mutual benefit, through the development of relevant and innovative technologies.”
