Fiber-optic expansion for a digital future

We are gradually rolling out fiber-optic connections in our residential buildings. The goal is to provide a modern and future-proof internet connection.

We are partnering with Westconnect GmbH for a portion of our housing portfolio. The company is part of the E.ON Group and is carrying out the expansion in collaboration with Telekom. Affected households will be notified in writing in advance. Consultation meetings with tenants will then be held.

The existing DSL internet service provided by NetCologne will remain in place. In addition, there are plans to expand the network using FTTH. FTTH stands for “Fiber to the Home”—meaning fiber-optic cables running directly into the home.

The expansion will take place in phases. This depends, among other things, on obtaining the necessary permits and completing civil engineering work. Marketing has already begun for some residential complexes. Additional complexes will follow gradually.
