Evolution

Incorporated in 1983, Electroteks went into Design and Manufacture of 1+1 local loop multiplexing units and Signalling conversion equipment in 1984. By 1997, over 15,000 units were installed island-wide. Commencing Design and Manufacture of TDM Telex multiplexers in 1986, the company won a contract to supply and commission the Telex Multiplex Systems to Sri Lanka Telecom. Electroteks was chosen from a worldwide tender where Siemens, Alcatel and NEC took part. Even to date about 80% of Sri Lanka's Telex system runs on Electroteks telex backbone equipment. Similar equipment was supplied to Bangladesh Telephone & Telegraph Board again after international competition with the above giant international players and many more.

Pioneering Radio data Link based automation of banking in 1988, Electroteks first linked three branches of Sampath Bank via radio link as a pilot project for their dream automated banking network. The success of the project initiated a process of banking automation via ATMs & Teller terminals - one of the first in South Asia. In 1990 Electroteks was recommended by a World Bank consulting committee to carry out a similar installation for Bank of Ceylon, the largest banking network in Sri Lanka.
