KRANJ, SLOVENIA — Iskratel, a European broadband solutions provider, will provide active and passive telecommunications equipment for the construction of an ultra-fast fiber-optic (XGS-PON and GPON) broadband network in 210 municipalities as part of the RUNE (Rural Network) project with its partners Rune Enia in Slovenia and Rune Crow in Croatia.
As part of the three-year project, 233,000 households in 165 Slovenian municipalities and 130,000 households in 45 municipalities in Croatia will be able to access the internet at speeds up to 10 Gbps. The project’s goal is to provide pervasive, high-speed connectivity for every European citizen and connect all people living in rural areas with future-orientated fiber broadband connectivity.
The news follows Iskratel’s recent partnership with Ukrtelecom and SID Bank to build a fiber-optic internet network to more than 200 localities across Ukraine and connect rural regions of the country.
