The International Business Unit of A1 Telekom Austria Group and Hungarian Invitech ICT Services installed the shortest and fastest fiber connection between Vienna and Budapest. Two fully diverse routes had been implemented to guarantee the safest connectivity between the two capitals.
With this joint fiber connection, A1 expands its fiber network in Europe. With PoPs in 47 countries, A1 is one of the largest providers. The additional connection includes the interconnection of Ethernet, VPN, Wavelength, and IPT services and allows not only to speed up but also to maximize the data traffic and thus increase the presence in Europe. Now A1 and Invitech proudly can offer a high-capacity, own network service connection between Vienna and Budapest.
With this project, the International Business team of A1 Group extends the long-standing partnership with Invitech, a dominant integrated telco and IT provider partner in the Hungarian market. This new route ensures the shortest and most secure connection on this segment from the edge of Western Europe towards CEE.
