Company History

HHT ’98 Kft. was created in 1998 by members of private companies working in the field of communication network planning and design, with the aim of running a well-prepared enterprise with a suitable economic and technological background on the market of communication planning and design.
From the beginning, the activities of our Company were focused on two different areas of communication planning and design.
Our first main area of activities consisted of planning and seeking permission for prospective cabled communication networks (and documenting existing ones) established by MATÁV Rt. or alternative companies through grants or simplified competitive procedures.

 

Our main clients

  • MATÁV Rt.
  • PanTel Rt.
  • NovaCom Kft.
  • Siemens Telefongyár Kft.

During these projects we planned out optical and traditional copper cable networks for MATÁV Rt. in Budapest and in the Hungarian countryside; in the case of other clients, we designed almost excusively optical communication networks, especially in the region of Budapest.

Our other main area of interest is the planning and design of cable television networks. In this case, our main client was the Első Pesti Telefontársaság initially, and the MATÁVkábelTV Kft. subsequently.

We started to feel the curb in the development of communication networks in the year 2001, and this motivated us to seek new opportunities. Working through our projects we realized that some providers are not equipped to deal with problems which require swift reactions or specialized training to solve. Based on this fact, we developed working relationshop with our partered companies, undertaking the task of solving complex problems for communication providers.

Some examples for such problems: substitution of cable networks during construction works (including planning and design, seeking of permits and implementation), or the design and implementation of groundings in the coaxial cable network of the MATÁVkábelTV Kft. that became necessary after the completion of the network.

During our operations in the communication service market, we discovered another signigicant deficiency. In large parts of the country, in the areas of small villages with 2000 or less residents, broadband and cable television networks had not been developed, and the big providers with the appropriate amounts of capital did not want to invest in these markets.

Our estimations showed that interested smaller companies with the appropriate amount of capital, or with careful crediting and using governmental support available through grants, can bes succesful in establishing and operating broadband networks in these small settlements.
Our Company took the first steps in this direction. We established a broadband communication network in the village of Újszentmargita, which is capable of not only transmitting 40 television channels, but to provide a high speed internet connection.

Further developing the system the establishment of an IP-based telecommunication service, with additional security and surveillance services, is considered imminent. We operate the implemented facility by ourselves, opening up a new line of business for our Company.

By our experience, the telecommunication, informatic and cable television demands of a residential area consistiong of around 400-600 flats can be satisfied more economically and with lower expenses than the „great” providers do it today.

Upon the request of settlements and investors with such demands, our Company is eager to participate in the development of a more economic solution by helping to design, seek permit for, implement and operate these networks.
