Cologne / Germany, 14 April 2026 | In-house networks are increasingly becoming a key issue for the roll-out of fiber networks towards FTTH. Which technical innovations can quickly and efficiently unlock the full potential? Alone in Germany, there are more than 20 million households in multi-dwelling units to be upgraded. The new “ANGA COM Showroom In-house Networks” provides answers to these and other questions. As announced already in November 2025, this new special area directly in front of hall 8 will make practical solutions of in-house connectivity touchable and accessible in a compact format. Europe’s leading Exhibition and Conference for Broadband, Media and Connectivity will take place from 19 to 21 May 2026 in Cologne.
Together with 10 partners and exhibitors, we are presenting integrated solutions from the basement to individual apartments. Here, we demonstrate the future of in-house connectivity – in a hands-on environment. The following companies are participating: Belden, Connect Com, Corning Optical Communications, gabo Systemtechnik, Hexatronic, HUAWEI, Netceed, Nokia, SES Germany and Teleste.
The showroom is equally relevant for network operators, service providers, retail, the housing industry, politics and media. Based on this concise overview, visitors can receive detailed explanations of the concepts at the partners’ exhibition stands in the halls.
First impressions of the showroom and further information are available here on our website.
Dr. Peter Charissé, CEO ANGA COM: “Fast and efficient in-house solutions are key for the FTTH roll-out. The new “Showroom In-house Networks” provides the blueprint for this. It presents the latest concepts in a hands-on format and also serves as a meeting point for expert exchange between all stakeholders.”
430 exhibitors have already booked space in the two exhibition halls. The exhibitor list and floor plans are available online at www.angacom.de.
