Problem
Telecom operators and digital service providers often lack access to a neutral, high‑capacity wholesale network that can deliver consistent, low‑latency connectivity across Hungary and into broader European markets. Building and maintaining such infrastructure independently involves substantial capital expenditure, regulatory hurdles, and fragmented coverage, limiting service rollout speed and cost efficiency.
Solution
2Connect operates a carrier‑grade, wholesale‑only fixed‑network platform that separates the provision of transport capacity from retail services. Leveraging a 42,000 km optical fiber backbone, 15,000 microwave points, and a portfolio of data‑center sites, the company offers leased dark fiber, Ethernet/MPLS, IP‑Transit, and colocation services on a neutral basis. Customers can provision bandwidth through an automated ordering API, while 2Connect handles network activation, engineering, and ongoing SLA‑driven maintenance. The architecture is designed for scalability, supporting cross‑border traffic between Eastern and Western European economic zones. By centralizing technical expertise and providing end‑to‑end managed connectivity, 2Connect reduces the time‑to‑market and CAPEX burden for its wholesale partners.
Target Audience
Primary customers are incumbent telecom operators, mobile virtual network operators, ISPs, cloud and content delivery providers, and large enterprises that require wholesale transport, dark‑fiber, or data‑center colocation across Hungary and into the wider European backbone.
