The dates, venue and visitor hours are published for ٢٠٢٧. The exhibitor list and interactive floor plans are available; the ٢٠٢٧ ticket shop is expected to open in December ٢٠٢٦.

Why ANGA COM matters

Compare network technologies

Fibre, cable, HFC, FTTH, mobile and satellite are among the event’s stated topics. Seeing network equipment, services and measurement technology within one professional exhibition can help operators and technical teams frame supplier comparisons around capacity, integration and operational requirements.

Connect infrastructure with media delivery

Streaming, video on demand, OTT TV, app TV, cloud TV and content sit alongside the network topics. This combination gives media companies and platform teams a setting to consider distribution technologies together with the connectivity on which services depend.

Use conference discussions for context

The exhibition is accompanied by a conference programme. ANGA COM Round Tables, launched in ٢٠٢٦, are set to continue in ٢٠٢٧. Visitors can use discussions to compare industry perspectives with the products and services they see on the exhibition floor.

• ٢٠٢٦ organiser-reported scale: ٤٥٠ exhibitors and ٢٠,٠٠٠ visitors from more than ٨٠ countries.
• Exhibitor profile reported for ٢٠٢٦: the event’s official material lists ٤٤ exhibitor countries and ٥٨% international exhibitors.
• Visitor profile reported by the organiser: the ٢٠٢٦ press release states that over ٥٠% of visitors were senior management.

These figures describe the ٢٠٢٦ edition and are not a forecast for ٢٠٢٧.

Why visit ANGA COM?

1. Shortlist network suppliers: compare fibre, cable, FTTH and HFC solutions against a defined deployment or upgrade requirement.
2. Evaluate active equipment: review routers, servers, CMTS and measurement instruments against your technical and operational criteria.
3. Map an integration question: identify how network, software and media components might fit together, then record compatibility questions for follow-up.
4. Explore media-delivery options: compare streaming, OTT, app TV and cloud-TV topics with the distribution needs of your service.
5. Follow industry discussion: use conference sessions and Round Tables to test assumptions about network and media developments.
6. Investigate the German connectivity market: assess potential suppliers and market requirements without treating policy targets as guaranteed purchases.

Why exhibit at ANGA COM?

ANGA COM is relevant to suppliers of broadband infrastructure, network equipment, measurement, software, AI, media distribution and connected services. The ٢٠٢٧ exhibitor list and floor plans are online. On ٣ November ٢٠٢٦, the organiser reported that registrations had been received for ٨٠% of available stand space. Companies considering a stand should review the organiser’s current booking information and confirm availability, package scope and participation terms directly.

Before committing, define which buyer problem your stand addresses, which product demonstrations are appropriate, and what technical information visitors need to compare your offer. For international exhibitors, distributor identification, local market research, stand planning, interpretation and logistics may all form part of the participation decision. Market-specific certification, operator qualification and procurement conditions should be checked for the products and projects concerned.

What makes ANGA COM different?

It brings network infrastructure and media distribution together in one exhibition and conference. The published topics span fibre, cable, mobile and satellite connectivity as well as streaming, content, OTT television, software and AI. This lets infrastructure and media professionals consider how network capabilities and digital services interact, rather than treating them as entirely separate purchasing questions.

For ٢٠٢٧, the organiser says the ANGA COM Round Tables will continue after their introduction in ٢٠٢٦. A new InnoTech Area is planned for smaller companies, start-ups and specialists in software-based solutions, including documentation and AI. These are announced ٢٠٢٧ features; the wider conference programme should be checked as it is updated.

What should you try to achieve at ANGA COM?

If you operate a broadband network

Leave with a shortlist of solutions and the technical questions needed to compare them. Record the network segment, capacity or service need each product addresses, plus the compatibility and deployment details to verify.

If you supply technology or integration

Identify the operator, integrator or platform profiles that best match your offer. Prepare a concise explanation of the problem solved, evidence of compatibility and the next technical or commercial discussion you want to have.

If you work in media or streaming

Map the relationship between distribution options and your service requirements. Note which network, cloud, platform and content questions need validation after the exhibition.

How to prepare before ANGA COM

١. Define a project question

Translate a broad goal such as “see what is new” into a specific decision: a fibre deployment, network upgrade, measurement requirement, platform change or distribution question. Note technical constraints and the people who must approve a solution.

٢. Build a target-company list

Use ANGA COM’s exhibitor list and interactive floor plans to group relevant companies by network infrastructure, active equipment, measurement, integration, software or media distribution. Keep a short reserve list for discoveries on site.

٣. Prioritise meetings

• A — Must meet: suppliers directly related to a defined project or purchasing requirement.
• B — Useful: complementary technology providers, integrators or potential channel partners.
• C — Explore if time allows: new software, AI or media approaches that merit an initial conversation.

٤. Prepare technical questions

• Which network architectures and standards does the solution support?
• How does it integrate with the equipment and platforms already in use?
• What measurement, monitoring or documentation functions are included?
• Which deployment, testing and maintenance tasks remain with the operator or integrator?
• What security and data-handling requirements should be reviewed?
• For media services, which distribution platforms and connected devices are supported?
• What implementation, service and support arrangements should be clarified?

٥. Confirm participation arrangements

The organiser states that the ٢٠٢٧ ticket shop is expected to be available from December ٢٠٢٦. Check current visitor registration details before travel and confirm the latest opening hours, floor plan and conference agenda. Exhibitors should confirm stand availability and participation terms with the organiser.

How to make the most of the exhibition

Use one record for each meaningful conversation: Company → Product → Network or media need → Evidence to verify → Contact → Next action. For example, when assessing a measurement instrument, record the network segment it supports, the measurements demonstrated, the compatibility questions still open and who will review the findings internally.

Compare like with like. Separate network equipment from services, distinguish a product demonstration from a confirmed deployment capability, and note which claims require technical documentation or a later evaluation. Use the official floor plan to protect time for priority stands and the conference sessions most relevant to your work.

Conference, Round Tables and the InnoTech Area

The event combines an exhibition with a conference focused on broadband and media topics. The ANGA COM Round Tables introduced in ٢٠٢٦ are scheduled to continue in ٢٠٢٧. The announced InnoTech Area is intended for smaller companies, start-ups and specialists in software-based solutions such as documentation and AI. Treat previous-edition programme information as context, not a promise that every session or speaker will return. Check the ٢٠٢٧ agenda when planning your timetable.

Networking at ANGA COM

For a useful technical or commercial conversation, prepare a short introduction to your role and the network, platform or content requirement you are working on. Bring a concise list of project parameters, integration constraints and the decision timeline you can share. Ask suppliers for the product information or technical documentation that will help your team compare options, and agree a specific follow-up step rather than relying on a general exchange of contact details.

ANGA COM visitor profile and business opportunities

These are practical interests linked to the event’s published sectors; the value of a visit depends on the project and the suppliers relevant to it.

Telecommunications and connectivity opportunities in Germany

Market size and demand indicators

Germany had ٦.٤ million active FTTH and FTTB connections at the end of ٢٠٢٥, up from ٥.٣ million at the end of ٢٠٢٤, according to the Bundesnetzagentur’s ٢٠٢٥ telecommunications annual report. This is an indicator of active fibre connections, not total fibre coverage or market revenue. Fibre represented ١٦.٥% of active fixed broadband connections at the end of ٢٠٢٥, up from ١٣.٧% in ٢٠٢٤. The figures point to ongoing network activation and migration work, while not by themselves demonstrating a supplier shortfall or commercial return.

• Active FTTH/FTTB connections: ٦.٤ million at end-٢٠٢٥, compared with ٥.٣ million at end-٢٠٢٤; national active-line measure, Bundesnetzagentur.
• Fibre share of active fixed broadband lines: ١٦.٥% at end-٢٠٢٥, compared with ١٣.٧% in ٢٠٢٤; share of active connections, not household coverage.
• Policy objective: Germany’s Gigabit Strategy aims for nationwide fibre and advanced mobile connectivity by ٢٠٣٠; the strategy set a ٥٠% household and business fibre-supply goal for end-٢٠٢٥. This is a policy target, not evidence that the target was achieved.

Market drivers and commercial opportunities

The government’s connectivity strategy, the increase in active fibre lines and funding for underserved areas connect directly with ANGA COM’s fibre, cable, network-equipment, measurement and integration sectors. Potential areas to investigate include:

• Fibre access and deployment equipment: suppliers of fibre and cable technologies may assess operator and project requirements; procurement, compatibility and project-specific qualification need to be checked.
• Network testing and measurement: the expansion and activation of fibre networks may create opportunities to compare measurement tools and operational technologies; buyers should validate specifications against their own network environment.
• Integration and network services: system integrators and service providers may explore work connected to upgrades, migration and operation, subject to the requirements of each operator or project.
• Software, documentation and AI: the event’s InnoTech focus and Germany’s connectivity objectives create a reason to examine software-based approaches, but commercial demand must be validated with prospective customers.

Regulation and market-access conditions

• Germany’s Federal Network Agency implements the regulatory framework under EU and national law. The German Telecommunications Act was amended in December ٢٠٢١ to introduce a right to the availability of voice communication and internet access services.
• The European Commission’s country information describes federal broadband funding for expansion in underserved areas, with up to EUR ٣٠ million in federal funding per project and possible combination with state-level programmes. Eligibility and project conditions apply; this is not a general grant for every supplier.
• The Gigabit Strategy includes measures intended to simplify and digitise permit processes and improve conditions for network deployment. Suppliers should verify current rules, tender conditions and technical requirements for each project.

What this may mean for exhibitors

Exhibitors in fibre, cable, network equipment, measurement, integration and software could use the event to investigate how their solutions fit German operator and project needs. The active-line figures and public objectives indicate relevant market activity, but do not guarantee a buyer, contract or qualification. Check procurement routes, technical compatibility and project-specific eligibility before committing resources.

What this may mean for visitors

Visitors may use ANGA COM to compare equipment and services against German network deployment and migration questions, identify suppliers for further technical review, and understand how public project conditions could shape a potential opportunity. Discussions should be followed by verification of specifications, procurement requirements and commercial terms.
