Accelerated execution of OTE Group’s strategic plan that will bring optical fiber (FTTH) to 3 million households and businesses, announced Deutsche Telekom Group recently.
Deutsche Telekom Group CEO, Tim Höttges, visited FTTH construction works in the Athens region, following the announcement of OTE Group’s strategic plan that will make optical fiber available to 3 mn. households and businesses in Greece. The plan that will form the country’s digital future was announced last December to the Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, and Minister of State and Digital Governance, Kyriakos Pierrakakis, over a meeting that took place in Athens, at the Maximos Mansion.
Tim Höttges had the chance to discuss with OTE Group’s people that carry out the FTTH rollout in the region of Metamorphosi, and oversaw the whole procedure, from the construction of the minitrenches and the installation of fibre cables to the termination from the optical cabinets to the customer sites.
OTE Group’s sharp increase of total investments, set to exceed €3 bn. by 2027, is a game-changer, bringing FTTH to 3 mn. households and businesses. The OTE Group will cover almost 2/3 of Greece’s lines with Fiber to the Home, living up to the needs of today and tomorrow and creating new prospects for digital growth. Today, OTE Group’s FTTH lines amount to almost 560,000.
Head of the Deutsche Telekom Group, Tim Höttges
FTTH rollout has been accelerated. I would like to congratulate our people in Greece that immediately put our commitment for the country’s digital upgrade into action. In the era of Artificial Intelligence, Big Data and Metaverse, optical fiber networks are a force of progress. Every region that gets access to FTTH, is upgraded. That is why our investment is so important.
The Chairman & CEO of OTE Group, Michael Tsamaz
Consistent to our commitment, we accelerate the FTTH rollout, creating the infrastructure that will cover the country’s digital needs for the next decades. It is a difficult project of great significance to the country, as well as a big challenge for the OTE Group. It is my firm belief that we will succeed.
