COSMOTE Fiber[1], the largest fibre optic network in Greece, with COSMOTE achieving the ambitious goal it had set for the expansion of its fiber optic network by the end of 2020.
“
The momentum of Fiber to the Home network is constantly being confirmed, as the need and demand for guaranteed superfast speeds is continuously increasing. In every area where the Fiber to the Home infrastructure reaches a new digital portal opens for its citizens and entrepreneurs, with unlimited possibilities of connectivity and utilization of innovative technological applications. I thank the people of OTE Group, who, in a difficult year with many challenges, contributed to surpassing the target we had set for the growth of our network. I am confident that with the valuable help of our people in technological services throughout Greece, we will achieve new records”, stated the Chief Technology and Operations Officer of OTE Group, Mr Stefanos Theocharopoulos.
Even more areas - 500,000 FTTH lines by the end of the year
Continuing its dynamic investments in the development and expansion of its fibre optic network, COSMOTE “activated” an additional 14 new areas in Greece, with access to ultra-high speeds and unlimited possibilities of fiber optics to the home. Furthermore, the Fiber to the Home infrastructure is expanding to even more homes and businesses in areas where fibre optic connections have already been activated and launched.
Starting in the North, Orestiada, Florina and Grevena now can connect to 100% FTTH optical fiber up to the socket, while FTTH has expanded to even more homes and business in Drama and Kastoria. Larisa and Lesvos gained access to guaranteed 100 & 200 Mbps speeds, while in Peloponnese, Aigio and Nafplion were added to the list. In Attica, the areas of Ambelokipi, Zografou, Elefsina, Lavrio and Spata obtained access to FTTH infrastructure via COSMOTE Fiber.
At the end of January, Igoumenitsa and Livadia were added, increasing the available FTTH lines to 325,000, while the goal-challenge for the year is to reach 500,000 lines throughout Greece. Thanks to the continuous expansion of the network, OTE Group remains first in population coverage, having installed more than 77% of all FTTH lines in Greece.
