Meet Kontron, d.o.o.

Broadband access is a high-speed internet connection provided by the internet service provider (ISP) to end users. In your home or office, you can access the internet directly via a wireless (Wi-Fi) or wired (Ethernet) connection between the modem and your device.

Kontron provides two up-to-date types of broadband solutions: fibre-based, also known as FTTH/FTTP, which is the fastest, greenest and most widely deployed broadband technology, and software-defined access (SDA) technology, which is a transformational opportunity.

Yes. Customers can test Kontron’s Iskratel broadband equipment prior to purchase. Testing is one of the main steps during the sales cycle and helps clients make more confident decisions about new broadband equipment and a partnership with Kontron.

This depends on specific needs and requirements, as well as on the size of the project. Kontron works closely with customers to meet deadlines on time.

Kontron’s broadband customers are mainly operators looking for a Tier-2 supplier with proficient technology, ultra-fast fibre solutions, a clear sustainability strategy and competitive pricing models.

In-house development of solutions and platforms enables easier customization. Everything runs faster and more optimally.

As the latest wireless transmission technology, 5G enables higher transmission speeds and shorter access times, while also dramatically increasing the security of wireless communications and ensuring quality of service within the network. The new network is modular and based on prioritising individual services, so each user can determine where and when to prioritise.

No. Voice communication will remain the basis of agreements for a long time. Not all participants in processes have collaboration and communication tools, so integrating communication with those tools is extremely important.

A 5G Mobile Private Network (MPN) is a standalone, usually on-premises deployment featuring a 5G Core, Radio Access Network (RAN), and transport network. It provides carrier-grade wireless connectivity for 5G-capable devices such as smartphones, tablets, sensors, gateways, routers and modems. 5G MPNs provide secure, high-performance and low-latency connectivity, making them suitable for industrial automation, IoT integration, mission-critical applications and digitalisation.

Kontron’s 5G Mobile Private Networks deliver standalone (SA) 5G connectivity designed for industrial-grade applications. The solution supports automation, digital transformation and secure operations through a containerized 5G Core that operates on various cloud platforms. It integrates with in-house or partner-provided RAN solutions and pairs with Kontron’s 5G-enabled devices, including routers and sensors. This setup supports time-sensitive, deterministic communication for critical data while providing scalable and flexible cloud integration.

The technology enables secure, high-speed and low-latency wireless communication, supporting applications such as automated logistics, smart manufacturing, environmental monitoring and mission-critical systems. It is particularly valuable for manufacturing, mining, transportation, logistics and university campuses. Key use cases include real-time automation, advanced robotics and maintenance-free operations. Kontron’s 5G MPN solution is tailored for vertical markets such as industrial manufacturing, logistics, rail transport, mining, ports, airports and public safety. It serves customers requiring resilient and flexible connectivity with extensive coverage and seamless handovers. Enterprises shifting from wired to wireless 5G networks benefit from enhanced digitalization, real-time data control, video anomaly detection, advanced monitoring, AI-driven analytics and improved decision-making.

Kontron’s 5G MPN is distinguished by its cloud-native, virtualized architecture and robust support from open-source communities. It offers flexible integration, tailored radio access for specific environments and secure on-site data processing. The hardware-agnostic design supports compatibility across diverse infrastructures and enables smoother deployment.

Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) is a set of standards being developed within the IEEE 802.1 framework, which governs Ethernet-based communication. TSN focuses on the data link layer, making it a foundational technology rather than a complete communication protocol. It can be integrated with higher-level applications and with wireless technologies such as 5G, which offer high throughput, low latency and strong Quality of Service (QoS) enforcement. TSN adds features such as QoS, time synchronization, low latency and seamless redundancy. 5G natively supports Ethernet PDU sessions, making it suitable as a wireless transport technology for deterministic industrial communication.

Kontron’s solutions primarily support digitalization in the rail and highway sectors. These solutions are designed to increase efficiency, safety and performance in these transportation sectors. They can also be adapted and tailored to support subway or metro transportation systems. Kontron provides versatile solutions that can be adapted to the requirements of different transportation sectors and support digital transformation across the industry.

Kontron Transport’s digitization solutions serve customers across the transportation industry, including rail operators, transit authorities, public transportation providers, logistics and freight companies, airports and airlines, intelligent transportation system providers, system integrators and technology partners. These customers benefit by increasing the efficiency, safety and performance of their operations.

FRMCS stands for Future Railway Mobile Communication System. It is a standardized communications system designed to replace Global System for Mobile Communications-Railways (GSM-R), which is currently used for railroad communications. FRMCS is being developed to provide a more advanced and efficient communications infrastructure for rail operations, including voice, data and multimedia services. It is designed to improve safety, capacity and interoperability of rail networks and enable seamless communication and data exchange between rail systems and across borders.

GSM-R and FRMCS are both communication systems used in the railroad industry, but they differ in several important aspects. GSM-R is based on 2G technology developed specifically for railroad communications, while FRMCS is a next-generation communication system based on 4G and 5G technology. FRMCS is expected to offer greater flexibility and scalability. GSM-R has limited data transmission capabilities due to its 2G technology, while FRMCS offers significantly higher data transfer speeds, enables faster and more efficient data exchange and supports advanced applications. Overall, FRMCS represents a significant advance over GSM-R, offering improved features, increased interoperability and future-proof technology.

EMS stands for Electronics Manufacturing Services. Kontron’s work covers the development and production or fitting of products with up to 22-layer printed circuit boards and more than 6,500 built-in components. Only a handful of providers in Europe can provide such complex electronics production.

ODM stands for Original Design Manufacturing. An ODM company is responsible for designing and manufacturing a product to the specifications of other companies. At Kontron EMS, the development and redesign team, combined with advanced electronics manufacturing services, can provide a complete ODM service.

Clients of Kontron EMS are companies that need development and/or production of a final product or electronics for installation in a final product, but do not have their own production capacity. Customers also include manufacturing companies that either do not have their own development or are currently unable to provide sufficient production capacity.

Kontron EMS provides electronics development and manufacturing services to companies in various industries, including telecommunications equipment, industrial electronics, measuring equipment, automation systems, automotive electronics, household appliances and consumer electronics.
