Pan-European Investment manager Primevest Capital Partners (Primevest CP) and partners GFS, gustav and Westenergie / Westnetz are investing €6 million to extend the existing fibre optic network across the rest of the German town of Hüllhorst in North Rhine-Westphalia not currently covered. Construction started in early November and will take approximately 10 months.
Pan-European Investment manager Primevest Capital Partners (Primevest CP) and partners GFS, gustav and Westenergie / Westnetz are investing €6 million to extend the existing fibre optic network across the rest of the German town of Hüllhorst in North Rhine-Westphalia not currently covered. Construction started in early November and will take approximately 10 months.

The extension is being made possible by sharing pre-existing underground pipelines which have already been installed across the municipality in an earlier agreement between Westnetz and gustav / Westenergie. This connects the districts of Oberbauschaft, Struckhof, Ahlsen and parts of Tengern and Büttendorf, to modern fibre optic infrastructure.

Klaus Leckelt, Senior Acquisition Manager at Primevest Capital Partners, said “Primevest‘s investment will modernise the remaining old telecommunications network to close the gaps in Hüllhorst’s infrastructure and provide access to a new high-speed network. As a result of our investment, and following a short construction period, the private homes and wider community not now served will have the same benefits of a modern telecommunications and data infrastructure that their neighbours already enjoy.”

The partnership will create a sustainable supply network ready for all future bandwidth requirements and applications, including home schooling and working, entertainment downloads and cloud applications. Pre-marketing has resulted in more than 40% of homeowners signing up to secure a free connection to the new network. The arrival of a Hüllhorst–wide fibre optic network will also enable the municipality to realise many new opportunities in creating a digital community for the entire village.
