Investing in research and innovation

In order to be a pioneer in technological developments, OTE Group participates in a series of innovative research projects and evaluates new technologies and equipment for the future of telecommunication in its laboratories.

Με τη συμμετοχή του σε 4 ερευνητικά προγράμματα της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης με αντικείμενο το σχεδιασμό και την ανάπτυξη νέων τεχνολογιών, υποδομών και υπηρεσιών 5ης γενιάς, ο Όμιλος συμβάλλει έμπρακτα στην έρευνα και την ανάπτυξη του 5G. Αντίστοιχα, παρουσίασε την τεχνολογία Narrow-Band Internet of Things (NB-IoT), που αλλάζει το IoT όπως το ξέραμε, αφού μειώνει δραστικά την κατανάλωση ενέργειας και τον όγκο δεδομένων που διακινούνται μεταξύ συσκευών, όσο μακριά κι αν βρίσκονται και θα αποτελέσει ένα απαραίτητο στις έξυπνες πόλεις του κοντινού μέλλοντος.

It is worth noting that in 2016 the OTE Group mobile network, after many years of research and preparation, introduced the new IPv6 Internet addressing protocol for better support of IoT technologies. In addition, after continuous testing in collaboration with manufacturers, COSMOTE was the first in Greece to present Voice over WiFi & Voice over LTE technologies, which allow subscribers to call and send SMS via WiFi, make faster calls and enjoy even better communication.
