Technology and Infrastructure


Communications systems within Austria are highly-developed and offer citizens and businesses very good telecommunications and internet capabilities. Austria has approximately 3.3 million landline telephones and over 13.5 million cellular devices currently in use. Austria has 37 internet providers presently in operation, servicing 6.7 million people within the country. Fibre-optic cables and communication lines are becoming more and more common across the country, further improving the quality of communications infrastructure within the nation. Austria also operates 15 satellite earth stations across the country, which provides the telecommunications and telemetry capability for orbiting satellites used in international communications.[CIA13][All14] Privacy regulations and laws regarding freedom of speech are well-developed within Austria, meaning citizens and businesses will not experience surveillance or censorship from the government in areas of communication, except to monitor and shut down illegal online activities.

“Being a landlocked nation, Austria cannot rely on direct transport for most products. Transportation through at least one country is usually necessary; meaning a strong, uncomplicated logistical framework between member nations is a huge asset for Austria and RONA. With modern transit and roadway systems, infrastructure within Austria is among Europe’s best. With its location in central Europe, Austria has become a logistical and transport hub throughout the continent. Austria also ranks 2nd in terms of promoting railway usage and 1st in terms of e-government services. [Aus13]”[Ray13]
