Telefonica manages almost 41 million accesses in Spain and runs the most extensive Fibre-to-the-home network in Europe with the highest number of connected customers reaching 12.5 million premises passed to June

The company has a significant presence in 21 countries and a customer base of over 329 million accesses around the world.

“Our new network supported by Juniper Networks will streamline connectivity with a seamless IP path from access to services and cut down the number of hops to traverse.
