How does ETC operate ?

icon Plug and Play approach
    • ETC’s model can be rolled out easily to new geographies / new customers thanks to accumulated and transferrable expertise in fiber deployment, logistics and product portfolio management.
    • Track-record of operations launch in new countries within a 3-month timeframe with different market / technical environment and sets of services, e.g.:

ETC is anticipating the broader evolution of operators’ business models that may include increased outsourcing and Supply Chain optimization assistance
