08 Mar 09 Solar Powered CDMA Phone
Public payphones are still handy contraptions to use and one thing we should not overlook is the power needed to assist in their operations. And apparently, Sri Lanka has quite a number of them and to continue patronizing the paying public, a solar-powered public CDMA phone has been unveiled.
“This phone has been designed to overcome limitations in expanding payhones coverage such as restricted access to wired telephone connectivity and availability of electricity as the only source of power,” Tritel Services Ltd Chief Operating Officer Ushatha Thilakeratne said.
The company has invested USD 3 million for the first phase of this project. They are planning to install 6,000 CDMA payphones in the country by the end of this year and are targetting 10,000 payphones with the existing Tritel phones.
