NTBN - National Telecommunications Backbone Network

A high-quality digital infrastructure is essential for the growth of the digital economy, for the development of the digital competences of citizens and businesses, and for the spread of public digital services.

Within the framework of the Digital Success Programme, significant progress has been made in the recent period with the implementation of the Superfast Internet Program (SIP). The goal of SIP is that, as a result of large-scale network developments, all Hungarian families will have the opportunity to use the superfast internet service with a speed of at least 30 Mbit/s. The development of the Internet network used by the state, local governments and the public administration, ie the National Telecommunications Backbone Network, is also progressing at a rapid pace. Through this, local governments and state bodies can provide modern e-government services. Related to all this is the National Information Infrastructure Development Program, which provides an integrated national network infrastructure and services for the entire Hungarian research, education, and public collection institutional system.

Thanks to NTG, the services of 104 state institutions have been upgraded so far, and new network connections have been built at more than 3,600 endpoints, the basic capacity of the system is ten times the previous one and it handles almost three times the data traffic.
