There has been a lot of talk about the introduction of 5G in Croatia, with the introduction of 5G in Osijek generating an even stronger response in both a negative sense. Now come the developments in infrastructure which are necessary to facilitate this important network transition.
As Darko Bicak/Poslovni Dnevnik writes on the 29th of January, 2020, this regards a development of telecommunication infrastructure in the municipalities of Antunovac, Čepin, Erdut, Ernestinov, Šodolovac, Vladislavci and Vuka. The project has the intention of seeing the network reach almost 10,000 private business and public users.
As an important step towards the introduction of 5G in Osijek, a partnership agreement for the implementation of a project to build a broadband network in seven municipalities in Osijek-Baranja County, worth more than 54 million kuna in total, was signed recently by representatives of that county and Croatian Telecom/Hrvatska Telekom (HT).
Milan Meden, chief operating officer of HT’s infrastructure services department, explained that all residents of the area will have the opportunity to get broadband with a minimum speed of 40 megabits and more, and a minimum of 90 percent of optical infrastructure will be built, which means that there will be a potential 10,000 users who will have a speed of 100 megabits or more made available to them.
“As the Government proclaimed Osijek the first 5G city in Croatia, HT is continuing its infrastructure investments in optical and mobile 5G networks, which means that the area will be covered by new broadband technologies. We will increase the user experience, increase current internet speeds, enable new services and open up new jobs,” Medan noted.
County Prefect Ivan Anusic expects that this investment, as well as the very introduction of 5G in Osijek will bring with it further progress and improve the quality of life and work of citizens and businesses.
