Establishment of a Nationwide Mission-critical VHF 
Digital Radio Communication system For Disaster 
management 
Replaces Sri Lanka’s outdated analog radio system with a nationwide, secure VHF Digital 
Mobile Radio (DMR) trunking network to modernize emergency communications. It 
installs over 40 high-altitude repeater stations and connects local command centers to 
deliver encrypted voice, data, and real-time GPS tracking across all 25 districts. The 
primary goal is to close the "last-mile" warning gap by integrating with Multi-Hazard Early 
Warning towers to ensure uninterrupted alert dissemination to vulnerable communities 
during disaster-induced commercial network failures.
