A few weeks ago, Optronics announced the completion of the first FTTH pilot network in Greece, in the city of Karditsa. Optronics has also been awarded the construction of the city’s fiber MAN, funded under the Call 93 of Information Society Programm. The FTTH network in the city comes to underpin the city’s efforts for a fiber future.
Currently the pilot has only a few dozens connections in a small part of the city and offers only internet connectivity. However, the connection speeds are set to 1Gbps. My intimate sources say that no pricing or marketing strategies have been announced so far. The project is set to serve as a first/best practice for an FTTH project in the country and as a way to gain experience in FTTH deployments.
I will get back on this with more information. In the mean time, you can all update your fiber maps. Greece has FTTH!
