New Backbone Network between Budapest and Vienna

Invitech and A1 Telekom Austria have built a faster, more secure and higher capacity redundant fiber connection between the Austrian and Hungarian capitals. According to the companies, the new backbone network on this route will provide the shortest and most secure connection between Western and Eastern Central Europe.

By connecting Invitech's and A1 Telekom Austria's own fiber infrastructure over two redundant routes, Invitech and A1 Telekom Austria will provide the shortest connection available today. Compared to the previous overhead infrastructure, the optical backbone network in the substructure provides data access between the two capitals with significant additional capacity and higher technical parameters, the business news site hvg.hu reports.

Invitech, the operator of more than 10,000 kilometers of optical backbone network in Hungary, intends to use the upgrade to move forward in the wholesale customer segment. According to Deputy CEO Albert Kis, the company can offer its customers a unique solution for the future transit needs of the region, in addition to enhanced data security.

A1 Telekom Austria Group is expanding its extensive European fiber network with the development – its services will be based on the infrastructure of its subsidiaries in seven Central and Eastern European countries, in addition to its own backbone network.
