Each year, CONNECT Magazine works with wireless network optimization company P3 Group to organize formal tests of mobile networks covering the German-speaking countries Austria, Germany and Switzerland (D-A-CH countries). The programme includes tests for download speeds, upload speeds and user experience. The objective is to help improve network performance across the whole region and covers the voice and data services in urban areas and on inter-city railways.
ZTE supported the overall network transformation initiative for Drei from 2010, and is the exclusive contractor for Drei's 2G, 3G, and 4G RANs and CNs. With this optimized network, Hutchison Drei Austria topped the network performance evaluation for the first time in 2011, and recorded another first place in 2012. The provider acquired all business operations of Orange Austria in 2013, and began the integration of the two networks and capacity expansion. This involved the large-scale rollout of its 4G network which was completed in 2015.
