reported, the proprietary optical network
vodafone fiber extends with strong
pace, now surpassing the 620.000
homes and businesses,
while active FTTH connections more than doubled
in 2025 compared to the previous year.
Based on the company's design,
the goal is to develop 850.000
fTTH lines by 2027,
contributing to further strengthening
broadband and convergence
of Greece with the European average.

At
second part of the discussion, Nikos
Plevris referred to the role of
submarine cable systems,
underlining the importance of developing
alternative transport routes
data, especially in the environment
contemporary geopolitical challenges.
Vodafone has been investing for years
in the development of undersea cable
fiber-optic systems, creating
an extensive network of infrastructures, with
the central axis of station
in Tymbaki, Crete.
There are already hosted the underwater
cable systems 2Africa
and India-Europe
Xpress (IEX),
two of the largest systems
submarine fibre optic cables
worldwide. Through them, Greece is connected
with three continents – Europe's growing IT skills crisis, http://www.idc.com
Africa and Asia
– strengthening international capacities
interconnection of the country. At the same time, the
Vodafone Greece has completed the
construction of subsea and terrestrial
fibre optic cables in Aegean Sea
and Ionian,
of a total length of approximately 1.500
kilometers.

At
context of the design of the immediately
vodafone's next investments
Greece, Vodafone has started the
planning to develop one more
submarine cable system
fiber-optic, of Thetis
Express.
The new system will include two
marine segments of length 129
and 163 km,
as well as land connections through the
Milos and the landings
in Crete and Attica. Overall, Thetis
Express will be approximately 340
kilometers
and will connect data centers in the
Heraklion, Crete and Athens.

With
2030 horizon, Vodafone
aims at a single, intelligent and
AI-native
network, where technologies and infrastructures
such as 5G
Standalone
Autonomous
Networks,
fibre optics, subsea interconnections
and satellite connectivity will
complementary, offering
greater reliability, safety and
quality of experience. Towards
this, already, the utilization of artificial
intelligence in Data
Centers
helps predict malfunctions
and optimizing operation
of the network, while our infrastructure strengthens
greece's role as a strategic
digital hub between Europe, Africa
and Asian.
