Hrvatski Telekom continues to introduce a commercial 5G network throughout Croatia. As of today, the 5G signal is available in ten new towns: Dugo Selo, Karlovac, Krapina, Nin, Poreč, Rovinj, Slavonski Brod, Umag, Velika Gorica, and Zadar, which means that 5G signal covers 34 Croatian cities and towns and 1.5 million inhabitants of Croatia.

5G technology allows three basic things: faster and better internet access, faster network response, and significantly better connectivity of many devices, which is a prerequisite for the development of smart industries, modern cities, and the society of the future. Healthcare, education, manufacturing, agriculture, energy, tourism, transport are just some areas that 5G will greatly improve.

“The introduction of the 5G network is not just a technological issue, but a reflection of a business and a national strategy that will define how successful and competitive we as an economy and society will be over the next ten years. Given the almost limitless possibilities of application in many industries and segments, it is crucial to turn 5G potential into reality and create new platforms on which to base future growth. New platforms that will provide more efficient business models, advanced connectivity, and a higher standard of living based on modern mobile technologies. It is the future Hrvatski Telekom is building today", said Boris Drilo, Member of the Management Board and Chief Technology and Chief Information Technology Officer of Hrvatski Telekom.

Hrvatski Telekom offers all its customers in specific tariffs until June 30, 2021, without additional costs, the possibility of using the 5G network. For this, they need to be in the area covered by 5G network and have a 5G compatible device. More details are provided here.

Hrvatski Telekom’s 5G network currently operates on Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS) technology, which allows the use of existing frequencies for 5G and rapid implementation of the 5G network, and reduces the need for new base stations and locations on specific 5G frequencies. In March this year, Hrvatski Telekom was the first to start involving commercial users in tests on the 3.5 GHz frequency band.
