Hrvatski Telekom

Having won several titles of best Croatian mobile network this year, Hrvatski Telekom (HT) has now received the “Best in Test” award for the best fixed broadband service.

In the first nine months of 2021, Croatia’s largest domestic telecom operator Hrvatski Telekom generated more than HRK 5.5 billion in revenue, recording an increase by almost two percentage points.

On Thursday, Hrvatski Telekom became the first on the domestic market to present the capabilities of the 5G+ network, reaching speeds of up to 4 Gbit/s and network response time of only ten milliseconds. The 5G+ network is based on the 26 GHz frequencies ensured by HT in the 5G spectrum auction, which ended in August.

Croatia raised almost HRK 359 million at the public auction for 5G frequencies, significantly exceeding the initial expectation of HRK 300 million in concession fees for the use of the spectrum for the new generation network.

Hrvatski Telekom has signed a 5G roaming agreement with Magyar Telekom, member of the Deutsche Telekom Group, so HT users can now enjoy the benefits of 5G on Magyar Telekom’s network in the relevant 5G coverage areas, the company stated.

Hrvatski Telekom started the month of March by testing the 5G network on the 3.5 GHz frequency band. Testing is currently being carried out to a limited extent on a part of commercial users in Zagreb, and soon in Osijek.

Hrvatski Telekom has stepped up the expansion of the 5G network in Croatian towns and cities, so as of Friday, December 18, the commercial 5G network became available in Bjelovar, Jastrebarsko, and Koprivnica.
