The Telekom Austria Group has successfully tested the 400G high-speed technology between Zagreb in Croatia and Ljubljana in Slovenia, demonstrating once again its innovative strength. This field trial was conducted between February 24 and March 6, 2014 and focused on testing the 400 Gbit/s technology on already existing fibre optic cables.

"The continuing increase in data volumes in the years to come will require the timely planning of new technologies over long-distance networks. The use of digital services will become increasingly important going forward. The smooth transmission of voice telephony, mobile and fixed net Internet as well as high-definition cable television is an important precondition to be able to meet the needs of an ever-growing customer base," said Günther Ottendorfer, Chief Technology Officer Telekom Austria Group, explaining the rationale behind this trial.
