Construction Timeline
According to the company, construction of the fiber optic network in these regions will commence in the spring of 2024, and the first live connections over this infrastructure are expected to take place mainly during the current year. Looking ahead, Lounea has expressed its intentions to expand further in the Eura region, although it has not provided detailed plans regarding the same.
Operational Reliability
"Our goal is to bring optical fiber availability to the entire Eura region, ensuring that residents have access to first-class connections well into the future. Lounea takes overall responsibility for the customer's service experience, and this responsibility is not spread over multiple operators. Overall responsibility can be observed in our operational reliability, which stands at a whopping 99.99 percent, and in the consistently high level of customer satisfaction year after year," commented Lounea on its expansion plans.
