In total, Hrvatski Telekom has so far enabled the use of the 5G network in 76 Croatian cities and towns and 11 municipalities.

In the areas where it has been introduced, 5G technology will provide numerous opportunities and accelerated digitalization. Three primary benefits are faster and better internet access, faster network response, and significantly better connectivity of many devices, which is a prerequisite for smart industries, modern cities, and societies of the future. Healthcare, education, manufacturing, agriculture, energy, tourism, transport are just some of the areas that 5G will significantly improve.

"5G is a technology that will mark the next ten years, and there is no part of Croatia or the sector, public or private, that will not benefit from the use of 5G. To bring the opportunities offered by 5G closer to everyone, we continue to systematically connect entire Croatia, from urban centers, islands, to rural areas, from Dubrovnik, through Šibenik, Rab, Pazin, Gospić, Ivanić-Grad, Nova Gradiška, to Beli Manastir. As of today, we have covered a total of 76 Croatian cities and towns, 11 municipalities, and two million Croatian citizens. We do not plan to stop here but continue to build the foundations of progress and the network of the future with the greatest coverage," said Boris Drilo, CTIO at Hrvatski Telekom.

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.

Hrvatski Telekom offers all its customers in specific tariffs until September 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.
