Hrvatski Telekom

Croatian operator Hrvatski Telekom and the Zagreb Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture (aka FSB) have signed an agreement to set up a private 5G campus network in the research and development laboratory of the FSB.

The allocation for the frequency spectrum for mobile communication services in the Republic of Croatia has been completed, both at the national and county level.

The tender procedure for the 800 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2100 MHz, 2600 MHz and 3600 MHz frequency bands starts in January.

Telemach has achieved near-national 5G coverage with its 1,200 upgraded base stations, while HT expanded its 5G reach to more than 50 percent of the population by the end of 2021.

Developed in partnership between Deutsche Telekom and Google, the phones are designed around the best Google apps and services, integrating software, hardware and network capabilities into a seamless 5G experience.

For the fifth time, Hrvatski Telekom won the umlaut “Best in Test” award for the best mobile network, as well as, for the second year in a row, for the best fixed network, thus cementing its status as a market leader in Croatia.

Hrvatski Telekom (HT) and Nokia were among the first in the world to test advanced 25G PON optical technology at HT’s Rijeka lab. This is the latest generation of optical networks that significantly enhances the speed of data transfer, and the speed achieved in Rijeka was 20 gigabits per second.

Last fiscal year, Hrvatski Telekom generated revenues of HRK 7.393 billion, thus recording a slight revenue adjustment of the largest Croatian operator. HT Group’s organic revenue (adjusted for Optima Telekom contribution in the second half of last year) in 2021 increased by 1.1 percent year-over-year.

At the end of 2021, the Croatian Competition Agency (CCA) authorized the first phase of the merger of Telemach Croatia and OT-Optima Telekom under the Competition Act. Optima was previously under the management of Hrvatski Telekom (HT).

Having won several titles of best Croatian mobile network this year, Hrvatski Telekom (HT) has now received the “Best in Test” award for the best fixed broadband service.
