Iskratel is intensifying its activities in Western Europe and has opened a branch in Munich to deliver its innovative broadband access solutions in Germany.
Munich, Germany, 8 June 2021 – Iskratel,
one of the leading European ICT providers, is intensifying its
activities in Western Europe and is now offering its innovative
broadband access solutions in Germany. Subsequently, Iskratel has opened
a branch in Munich to help deliver this to customers. At the upcoming
ANGA COM show, Iskratel will also present its strategy for developing
rural regions with modern fibre optic networks such as Fibre-To-The-Home
(FTTH).
The
company is one of the major ICT players in
Eastern Europe with annual sales of over 115 million euros and more than
100 million satisfied customers. Iskratel is already represented by
partners in some Western European countries such as Spain, France and
Belgium. The company expects sales to grow by 30 percent in these
countries and has identified similar potential in the German market, as
the broadband expansion with FTTH networks still has considerable growth
potential in the country, especially in rural areas.
“We know
from experience what network operators have to look out for in the
business case for fibre optic networks in rural regions,” Dr. Mitja
Golja, Broadband Business Development Director at Iskratel said. “We now
want to bring our know-how to Germany in order to promote the expansion
of fibre optics here.”
Iskratel has previous experience in
seamlessly deploying fibre optic networks in rural or broadband
underserved areas, and this was highlighted with the Slovenian-Croatian
open access project RUNE (Rural Network), which provided passive and
active XGS-PON network equipment to supply 210 cities with Gigabit
connectivity. In addition, together with Telecom Slovenia, Iskratel is
contributing to the rapid expansion of the 5G mobile network across the
country. In Belgium, the ICT provider is building a 10 Gbit/s fibre
optic network for thousands of households in rural areas with the Ulysse
Group, providing a complete XGS-PON solution consisting of Optical Line
Terminals (OLT) and Customer Premises Equipment (CPE).

Key Account Manager Patrick A. Zuncke, who heads up the Munich branch,
will oversee operations. Zuncke said: “Iskratel is a very agile company
that works with partners and customers on an equal footing and offers
them everything from a single source. The customers’ requirements are
the top priority.”
Iskratel has already been able to demonstrate
its expertise to network operators in Germany such as the Magdeburg
telecommunications provider MDCC, which belongs to the Tele Columbus
Group. “This is just the beginning,” said Zuncke. “I am certain that
Iskratel will play a leading role in broadband access on the German
broadband market for years to come.”
Dr. Mitja Golja will deliver
his presentation at the virtual ANGA COM event on Wednesday, 9 June 2021
at 1pm CET. For further information on the event and to register, visit
