The modernization of the network, investment worth 14 million Euros, will be completed by the end of 2013, by when all subscribers should be transferred to the new platform.

Makedonski Telekom starts the project for modernization of the network with the introduction of a new multimedia next generation platform based on Internet Protocol. This new platform, which will replace the existing digital telephone exchanges, will enable the introduction of new high-quality convergent multimedia services and innovative ways of usage of the unlimited possibilities offered by the Internet.

This capital investment worth 14 million Euros will make Macedonia the first country in the South-East Europe whose network will be fully based on Internet protocol.
The modernization of the network starts in October and it is planned to be fully implemented by the end of 2013. The process will be deployed gradually, in phases and per regions. The first phase will include the following regions: Skopje (Centar, Kisela Voda), Gevgelija, Tetovo and Veles.

“In the following years, the biggest investments will be made in the modernization of the networks which will further strengthen their capacity. This is a promise that we have made to the customers and we are already fulfilling that promise. This investment is just a start of the 170 million Euros investment plan for the following years, of which 150 million Euros are in the fixed network. This project will provide the citizens with telecommunications solutions of the next generation - innovative ways of usage of the unlimited possibilities offered by the Internet.” - said Mr. Daniel Szasz, Chief Executive Officer of Makedonski Telekom.

In addition to the complete replacement of the existing digital telephone exchanges, the network modernization includes the installation of an integrated device for access in the premises of the customers that have not used broadband internet until now. The device shall be provided for use free of charge, whereas the installation will be performed by technicians and will take only 15 minutes on the average, for which the customers will be timely informed by the Call Centre of Makedonski Telekom. The customers that are using the Call & Surf or 3Max packages already have this device.

All communication devices that can be used at home will be connected to this device – home telephone, MaxTV, computer, laptop, smart phone, as well as all new types of TVs, webcams, internet radios, etc.

In the future, it shall be possible to manage or control all such home devices through the internet, similarly like now where the 3Max users can schedule recording from their computer or mobile telephone from every location where they have internet access.

Within the project, Makedonski Telekom will provide additional advantages for the customers - those customers, who until now have used voice services only, after their transfer to the new platform, will have one month free-of-charge Internet access, without any obligations. Also, the company will provide the existing users of broadband services with three months of unlimited access to the Internet, without additional compensation.

On the occasion of the start of the project, as part of the corporate responsibility strategy of Makedonski Telekom, the best 10 students from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, as well as from the Faculty of Information Science and Computer Engineering, received one-year free usage of the 3 Max packages.
