Magyar Telekom's number of gigabit access points exceed 2 milion endpoints

Magyar Telekom recently announced that the number of gigabit access points on the network has now exceeded two million. This means that Magyar Telekom can offer gigabit services to 40% of homes and businesses in Hungary.

The Operator develops its gigabit network with two different technologies: it has enabled high-speed internet access by modernizing its existing cable network at 675,000 endpoints, while also developed a new optical network at a total of 1,357,000 endpoints (of which nearly 350,000 was connected in 2019).

The network expansion will continue at a similar pace this year as well, said the Operator. Magyar Telekom’s long-term objective is to ensure gigabit network speed in the entire country. To this end, the Operator will focus more on further increasing the fiber network coverage, gradually replacing copper networks.

Lubor Zatko, CTIO, Magyar Telekom said,"We are proud that Telekom's fixed and mobile network reliably serves home and business needs despite the extraordinary load caused by the emergency situation, which is result of many years of dedicated work."
