Deutsche Telekom is Germany’s largest investor when it comes to expansion of the network infrastructure. We are continuously expanding our networks, increasing the efficiency of our network systems and further strengthening our role as a leader in network quality. This includes efforts via our national companies in Europe and the United States, which are working continually to expand our network infrastructure and improve our network quality.
In expanding our mobile network in Germany, we conform to the coverage requirements imposed by the Bundesnetzagentur (BNetzA, Federal Network Agency). As of the end of 2022, we had made LTE coverage available to 99 percent of all households. In addition, we have been providing broadband service, with bandwidth of 50 or 100 Mbps, along more and more traffic routes. Already, over 94 percent of people in Germany now have access to Deutsche Telekom's fast, new 5G mobile network. Our goal: To be providing 5G coverage to 99 percent of the population by the end of 2025.
We have almost completed our FTTC (fiber to the curb) expansion in our fixed network in Germany. With our FTTH (fiber to the home) expansion, we are installing fiber-optic connections directly in customers’ homes. Our aim is to close gaps in the network in rural areas and provide urban centers with the high bandwidth they require. We want to continue this rollout efficiently and, to this end, are also participating in funding programs. In the coming years, we expect to provide FTTH to up to an additional 3 million households per year.
Further information about our network expansion is available in our annual report.
