NE4 FTTH Solutions to optimise final connections in Germany

connected city, smart city ftth rollout

A changing market driven by digitisation

Germany's digital transition is accompanied by an ambitious fibre optic (FTTH/B) deployment strategy. This momentum aims to support the digitalisation of the economy, the expansion of 5G, and the growing connectivity needs of both private individuals and businesses. In 2024, 22.5 million households and businesses were eligible for fibre, representing 48.8% coverage, compared to just 17.7% in 2020.
 
However, the activation rate remains low: only 26% of connectable households are actually connected. This gap highlights the challenges associated with the final network segment: Netzebene 4 (NE4), which connects the public network to the indoor termination point.
 

Technical specificities of NE4 deployment

FTTH deployment in Germany involves specific constraints that shape technology choices for Netzebene 4 (final indoor connection):

  • Diverse housing types, from dense urban areas to remote rural regions
  • Variable local regulations and complex authorisation procedures
  • Pressure on deployment costs and timelines
  • Need to industrialise connection processes

In this context, operators seek standardised, reliable, and flexible solutions capable of effectively converting "homes passed" into "homes connected".
 

Telenco: industrial expertise for fibre deployment in Germany

With facilities in Kirchheim-Heimstetten, Augsburg and Hamburg, Telenco designs and manufactures NE4 solutions tailored to on-the-ground realities. Its expertise is based on integrated control of the entire value chain: product design, European manufacturing, laboratory testing, and local logistics.
 
Telenco’s approach combines industrial quality, compliance with German standards, and ease of field implementation. Each solution is designed to optimise installation times while ensuring the optical performance expected by operators.
 

NE4 solutions tailored to German networks

Adaptability and technical precision

Telenco solutions cover all final connection scenarios: multi-dwelling units, single-family homes, commercial buildings or industrial sites. Each component ensures optimal compatibility with existing infrastructures.
 

Simplified installation

Products are delivered pre-assembled with intuitive interfaces and ergonomic designs to reduce intervention time and minimise disruption to end users.
 

Compliance and robustness

Materials used meet B2ca standards and comply with mechanical and climatic requirements for indoor installations. Each solution undergoes thorough testing in Telenco laboratories.
 

Key NE4 technical solutions from Telenco

  • ELINE® DROPTIC Cables: B2ca-certified cables extruded in Portugal, excellent tensile and blowing performance.
  • HESTIA GF-TA Kits: Integrated solution for subscriber termination, simple and standardised.
  • GF-TA Box: Discreet design, easy integration into all indoor settings.
  • NE4 Accessories: Complete range ensuring end-to-end installation continuity.
     

Supporting operators in accessing subsidies

According to BREKO, only 27% of federal broadband funds had been disbursed by the end of March 2025. Better support for operators in navigating administrative procedures and selecting subsidy-eligible solutions is essential. Telenco actively contributes by offering compliant products and facilitating access to funding mechanisms.
 

Towards a Gigabitgesellschaft: Telenco's commitment

Telenco supports Germany’s ambition to become a "Gigabitgesellschaft" (gigabit society, where every household and business has ultra-fast broadband) by reducing the gap between connectable and connected homes. Its NE4 solutions, field-tested and designed for long-term durability, play a key role in accelerating FTTH connections nationwide.
