CETIN infrastructure
CETIN a.s. (formerly Česká telekomunikační infrastruktura a.s.) operates the largest data and communications network in Czechia, with a reach that spans the entire country.
Thanks to its experienced staff and extensive infrastructure, CETIN is the safest, most reliable and most effective wholesale telecommunications service provider in Czechia.
CETIN manages more than 53 thousand kilometres of fibre-optic cables. These form the network’s backbone and in some areas they also serve as direct access points for the end users of operators who use CETIN’s services. The largest part of the fixed network is then made up of a further 20 million kilometres of paired copper wires.
This infrastructure complements other systems that enable voice and data services to be transmitted from mobile and fixed networks to interconnection hubs, where these services are transferred onto other operators’ networks, including international networks.
CETIN provides mobile network signal (2G, 4G, and 5G) through approximately 6,800 outdoor base stations and 1,900 micro base stations (which are mainly used inside buildings). Its grid covers 99.6% of the Czech population.
CETIN provides voice transit services both to Czech operators who need to ensure that their customers can dial abroad as well as to foreign and multinational operators. Besides call termination, the company offers also international data lines and mobile phone roaming services.
PPF Telecom Group’s share in CETIN a.s. is 70%.
