THE HISTORY OF CETIN HUNGARY

CETIN Hungary is a provider of wholesale mobile telecommunications infrastructure and related services as network planning and operation, transmission complimented also by data centre, IT infrastructure and security services and was founded in 2020 after undergoing a legal separation from Telenor Hungary.

The infrastructure separation enabled CETIN Hungary to increase its ability to manage the growing pressure of competition on the telecommunications market but also respond to much greater demand for improved services by consumers. The split from Telenor Hungary gives CETIN Hungary the opportunity to focus even more on R&D, drive and improve better long-term sustainable investments and offer opportunities in network cooperation with operators.

As a technology company, CETIN Hungary is dedicated to improving telco infrastructure deployment, utilization of assets, operations and maintenance with the aim to increase the network quality while the consumer oriented commercial companies, to whom CETIN Hungary offers its infrastructure, may focus even more on their customers and their needs.

This important milestone relies on the experience of an already by facts proven infrastructure split which occurred within the CETIN family. In 2015, the PPF Group, a leading telco group in the CEE, accomplished a successful structural separation between O2 Czech Republic and its spin off CETIN. The infrastructure separation model has proven that it enables each company to streamline its business and pursue more efficient and targeted investments. Today CETIN in the Czech Republic is the largest Czech wholesale provider of mobile and fixed telecommunications services.

Technologies

4G & 4G Advanced

LTE technology (Long Term Evolution), launched in 2015, has reached an outdoor national coverage of 99,9 % of the population. This technology represents the fourth generation of mobile networks (4G) and provides customers with unique experience in using the services which demand high speeds of data transfer, as well as faster access to applications, such as video contents (Youtube, streaming, mobile TV, etc.), watching high-quality video files (up to 4K format), music streaming, uploading and downloading files, photos and other contents.

CETIN Hungary’s 4G Advance infrastructure is a combination of various features and functionalities from the 4G network, which enables faster web search. Excessive speeds are achieved by aggregating multi LTE carriers and utilizing available spectrum.

3G

The 3G network was commercially launched in 2005 and has reached an outdoor national coverage of 96,5 % of the population. The entire 3G network supports HSPA+ 42 Mbps technology. The maximum theoretical data transfer speed is 42 Mbps on downlink and 5.76 Mbps on uplink. This will enable users to browse the Internet at real average speed between 10-20 Mbps and about 1 – 3 Mbps on uplink with modem for HSPA+ 42Mbps technology.

HSPA+ (Evolved High Speed Packet Access)

HSPA+ technology represents the last step in the evolution towards 4G systems and currently provides largest throughputs in the CETIN Hungary network with much greater capacity and reduced lag. It provides the best Internet experience, and ten times faster data transfer compared to the period before network renovation.

2G

2G has been in operation since 1994, for voice and currently as the data access technology for legacy m2m/IoT devices. Our 2G network has reached 99,8% national population coverage.
