SLT partners with Fon Wireless Ltd to create community Wi-Fi networks

With the launch of the sltgo Wi-Fi solution, SLT (Sri Lanka Telecom) broadband customers and overall Internet consumers of Sri Lanka will be able to enjoy Wi-Fi connectivity on the go via community Wi-Fi networks. 
This connectivity will extend to over 23 million Wi-Fi hotspot connections in over 25 countries around the world, SLT said in a media release. 
Community Wi-Fi networks offer wireless network access to visitors and nearby users thus creating a virtual public Wi-Fi network.
Fon Wireless Ltd is a global wireless network that pioneered residential Wi-Fi sharing over a decade ago. Recognizing this, SLT has partnered with Fon Wireless Ltd to provide community Wi-Fi connectivity to SLT customers as well as non-SLT customers.  
sltgo, Sri Lanka’s largest Wi-Fi network, allows access to unlimited data using your smart phone, mobile device or laptop for Prepaid customers. Existing Broadband customers will have also have access to data within the volume of their home broadband packages. When you are on the go, the sltgo app will automatically connect you to the nearest available Wi-Fi hotspot. 
Users may access the service in two ways. SLT Broadband customers need to simply use their current username and password. Any other customers may enjoy this service by purchasing Wi-Fi passes as a prepaid solution to enjoy the service provided. 
sltgo will create an additional Wi-Fi network in your home broadband; the private one already used by you and another for public sltgo consumers. The number of people who can use your home hotspot at a time is limited and subjected to maximum speed limitation giving priority to your private network, so your broadband experience will remain almost the same as before. The data used by public users are not consumed from your home broadband data volume. Your home/private Wi-Fi signal is separate from the sltgo or Fon public signals so your data and information will be kept separate from public users of your network.
