Longer power cuts affect 3G and 4G transmission network systems
March 30, 2022 09:45 pm
There is interference in 3G and 4G transmission due to long hours of power cuts and the shortage of fuel for power generators, several mobile service providers said.
Sri Lanka is currently hit by a shortage of forex and essential items including fuel required for power generation. Rolling power interruptions have been gravely affecting the day-to-day life of the general public over the past few weeks.
Against this backdrop, record ten-hour power cuts were imposed today – the longest interruptions to the electricity supply the country experienced in 26 years.
Meanwhile, the Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL) has approved 13-hour interruptions for tomorrow.
