Network planning, build, and managed services for European telecom operators
Connect44 operates as a vendor-agnostic managed services provider for telecom operators across Europe, with 1,300+ experts distributed across 12 markets plus Malaysia. The stack reveals heavy investment in both legacy (Ericsson, Huawei, VoLTE, LTE) and next-generation infrastructure (5G SA, Open RAN), with active adoption of both standards signaling a shift toward operator modernization work. A hiring surge weighted toward engineering (22 active roles) and finance (20) against shrinking construction headcount suggests the company is scaling technical delivery and back-office operations while potentially automating or outsourcing field labor.
Connect44 provides end-to-end network solutions to mobile operators, fixed-line providers, fiber network companies, and tower companies across Europe. Founded in 2000 as a telecom consulting firm in Lucerne, it has grown into one of Europe's largest independent managed services providers, offering network planning, infrastructure build, and ongoing management.
