Croatian Telecom (HT) have managed to expand their business in the Eastern Croatian city of Osijek owing to the previously announced introduction of a 5G network in the city.
There has been a lot of talk about the introduction of 5G in Croatia. With rumour recently being confirmed about the continental Croatian city of Osijek becoming the first Croatian 5G city, the new technological step forward has attracted as much criticism as it has praise.
From arguments about potential health issues arising to praise about how 5G’s introduction will only help Osijek’s encouraging IT and tech community to grow and develop, thus encouraging economic stimulation and the creation of more jobs, discussions on the issue have been relentless.
As Poslovni Dnevnik/Bernard Ivezic writes on the 17th of February, 2020, the City of Osijek is home to one of four Croatian Telecom call centres, and with other operations in the city, this huge operator employs more than 500 workers.
Croatian Telecom has, in a more than encouraging sign of things to come, opened another, brand new call centre in Osijek which employs more than 400 workers.
The new Croatian Telecom business premises in the often overlooked Slavonian city, which the operator decided to invest in after increasing its call centre staff in Osijek by as many as 166 at the end of last year, were opened on Friday by members of the company’s management board, Natasa Rapaić and Ivan Bartulović.
The expansion of Croatian Telecom’s Osijek-based business is, as previously stated, part of the operator’s preparations for the city’s introduction of the 5G network.
Many asked why Osijek was chosen to be the first Croatian 5G city, as it is rare that any sort of economic good news comes from that region of Croatia. Unbeknown to some, Osijek has a thriving IT and tech community, and it’s more than likely that the introduction of 5G will spur that on.
