T-Mobile Austria has launched its ‘Broadband Offensive,’ with a portfolio of new services to deliver internet to fixed and mobile locations, according to Telecompaper.

With its home internet services HomeNet, the operator offers HomeNet Hybrid, a router combining the LTE network with a DSL connection. HomeNet Hybrid will be introduced in January 2018, first in Vienna, Lower Austria and Burgenland, and within a couple of weeks Austria-wide.

For secondary residences, T-Mobile recently introduced the HomeNet Flex service. For car drivers, the operator offers CarConnect, to turn the car into a broadband hotspot and also transfer various telemetric data about the vehicle to the CarConnect mobile application.

T-Mobile said the new services follow massive investment in its LTE network, which covers more than 97 percent of the population. This year, the investments of EUR 160-70 million will exceed the investments of 2016 by about 30 percent. In the past five years, the operator has invested EUR 1.3 billion in LTE. The operator also has the second biggest fiber-optic network in the country.
