"Colombo to become smart city soon" 21 May 2021


"Sri Lanka will be embracing smart technology in a big way by introducing smart city concept in Colombo with the involvement of a Michigan-based company.

Michigan-based Viper Networks, Inc has entered in to three separate contracts with Sri Lanka Telecom (SLT), Bharti Airtel and Hutch to Launch USD 100 Mn Phase 1 Smart City Project in Sri Lanka.

The project will grow into subsequent phases making it a 500 million project over the next 4 to 5 years, Viper Networks said.

Viper is international leader in the LED lighting products and integrated systems markets for Smart City projects,

Initially, the Company will install Smart City LED Light Poles at colleges and university campuses throughout Colombo, which is the commercial capital and largest city in Sri Lanka, with an estimated population of 5.6 million.

Upon completion, the Company will then commence on the broader installation project for the entire country, which will include all bus stops, terminals and train stations, along with colleges and universities countrywide.

The Sri Lanka contract with the local service providers calls for Viper Networks’ Apollo Smart Pole digital hub to provide remotely managed capabilities for High Resolution Security Cameras, Information Video Panels and Wi-Fi for wireless communications and mobile apps (i.e. CyberGrab) and Intelligent LED Lighting.

Additionally, Viper Networks is expected to soon launch their CyberGrab app platform for Sri Lanka.

The Company’s CyberGrab Services, an All-In-One platform app will include popular ride sharing services in addition to taxis, grocery and common delivery, bill pay among an expanding list of other local service providers catering to today’s consumers throughout Sri Lanka.

Viper Networks CEO, Farid Shouekani, commented: “It has certainly been the innovative, state-of-the-art technology of our Smart City products that has helped lead the way in partnering with market leaders on the international stage.

However, it is today’s critical need to address, fix and upgrade the deteriorating infrastructure of many major cities and countries worldwide, that is further magnifying Viper Networks burgeoning global success."
