FTTH rollout in Germany, three lessons from the field

Our project teams have worked on FTTH rollouts in Germany for years. Three lessons we keep seeing repeated.

Back to overview

Working on a German FTTH rollout differs in a few ways from a Dutch project. It pays to know those differences before the first shovel goes into the ground.

Lesson 1, permits take longer

In many German municipalities, obtaining permits takes longer than initially estimated. Always plan extra weeks for civil coordination.

Lesson 2, Hausanschluss is precision work

The home connection in Germany is subject to strict standards. We keep dedicated teams trained on the applicable guidelines to avoid rework.

Lesson 3, resident communication is its own discipline

Good resident communication reduces complaints and accelerates the rollout. We handle pre,notice, planning and follow up through fixed procedures.
