Magyar Telekom has reached another milestone: it has launched XGSPON technology covering the whole country, which takes the home and business connectivity experience to a new level with multi-gigabit internet speeds. Whether it's home office, learning, gaming, content creation, or any business where upload speed is critical, now anyone can enjoy an outstanding digital experience. The company is the first in Deutsche Telekom Group to utilize the full speed of the XGSPON network on a nationwide level.

As a result of Magyar Telekom's multi-year network development program, the company's fiber network is now available at 3 million endpoints across the country, and from September 26, the vast majority of endpoints will also be able to use the full capacity of the advanced XGSPON fiber network technology, which is capable of theoretical speeds of 10 Gigabits. Residential customers can enjoy download speeds of 4 Gbps, while in the business segment, we provide the full effective capacity of the network – symmetrically 8000/8000 Mbit/s – for maximum performance.*

The network upgrade is accompanied by a worthy wired device: the tri-band Home Gateway, developed in collaboration with Qualcomm, uses the 6 GHz band in addition to the regular bands, which is a gamechanger in WiFi technology. The WiFi 7 standard allows connected devices to communicate stably and at lightning speed, avoiding network congestion.

"The future belongs to multigigabit networks, and we are proud to be at the forefront of this development in Hungary. With the introduction of this new technology, we are not only offering faster internet, but also investing in a future where digital barriers disappear and everyone can freely enjoy the opportunities offered by technological progress," said Péter Nagy, Magyar Telekom's Chief Technology and IT Officer .

“We’re thrilled to collaborate with Magyar Telekom on this milestone launch. Powered by our Qualcomm Dragonwing™ NPro 7 platform, the new Home Gateway integrates our tri-band Wi-Fi 7 and XGS-PON fiber technology into a solution purpose-built to deliver ultra-fast broadband and seamless multigigabit connectivity across homes and businesses. By integrating these two advanced technologies, we enable high-performance connectivity for every device and every use case,” said Dino Flore, Vice President, Technology at Qualcomm Europe, Inc. “This marks a new benchmark for broadband innovation, enabling transformative internet experiences across Hungary.”

A digital leap that can be felt in everyday life For residential users, the new wired packages offer lightning-fast Wi-Fi, so parents working from home and teenagers using the internet for entertainment and learning can both enjoy a stable connection. Gamers can play smoothly and in high quality thanks to the combination of the network's theoretical 10 Gbps speed and the WiFi 7 technology, while the latest smart devices can take full advantage of the network's maximum performance, guaranteeing an outstanding digital experience. For business users, the network provides seamless, high-bandwidth wired internet access for companies thanks to the WiFi 7 technology. Creative agencies, content producers, and any business where upload speed is critical can now share their high-resolution materials—whether video content, graphic files, or any other digital material—lightning fast and seamlessly.

Renewed fixed-line portfolio and security In addition to increasing speeds, Telekom also pays special attention to customers' security. With the complete renewal of the fixed-line portfolio, extra features have become customizable, including Nonstop Wi-Fi and Net Security Plus. This service, which is also available for most mobile subscriptions, includes Cyber Insurance, which provides insurance coverage against online fraud, such as damage caused by phishing. "With our multi-gigabit network introduced as part of the Country-tuning initiative and our related new wired offerings, we take the digital customer experience to a higher level. Whether our subscribers use our new services for work or leisure, they will take a digital step forward in their lives. At a time of increasing digitalization, the spread of quality content, and the rise of AI, it is vital that our customers have access to state-of-the-art, future-proof services using the latest technology available," said Zoltán Pereszlényi, Magyar Telekom's Chief Commercial Officer .
