It's an excellent win-win situation: GA Weissenstein GmbH's regional focus combined with Bouygues Energies & Services's 100 regional locations and their expertise in fibre optic technology. We complement each other in our strengths and our partnership is fair and successful.

Digitalisation is progressing and the coaxial/broadband networks that transmitted cable television are being decommissioned. Conversion to fibre optic networks offers advantages such as high-speed internet, a digitalised product world and property upgrades. That's why acceptance and demand for fibre optic networks are increasing.
