History

Founding and early development

IPKO was established in 1999 as the Internet Project Kosovo (IPKO) by Akan Ismaili, an Albanian Kosovar, along with Americans Teresa Crawford and Paul Meyer, shortly after the Kosovo War concluded, with the aim of providing internet access in a region devastated by conflict. The initiative received initial support from the International Rescue Committee through a $175,000 loan, as well as contributions from the UK Department for International Development (DFID) and the US government, enabling the setup of a satellite-based wireless internet system. Operations began on September 20, 1999, with basic email services, marking IPKO as the first post-war internet service provider (ISP) in Kosovo and focusing on reconnecting civil society organizations, businesses, and individuals amid widespread infrastructure destruction. Early development centered on overcoming technical hurdles in a power-unstable environment, where frequent outages necessitated investments in generators and uninterruptible power supplies costing around $30,000. By mid-2000, IPKO had transitioned to local ownership, serving 80 paying customers and providing free connections to 30 groups while employing 18 staff members. In 2001, the organization restructured, splitting into the commercial arm IPKO Net for , dial-up, and emerging services, and the non-profit IPKO Institute for education; this rebranding supported expansion into wireless point-to-point links and basic fixed-line connections, primarily for business clients. Despite challenges like the Post and Telecom of Kosovo's (PTK) efforts to maintain a and limited , IPKO grew its customer base to thousands by 2005 through reliable service delivery in major cities. A pivotal milestone came in when IPKO Net, in partnership with —which acquired 75% ownership for €19.5 million—won the tender to become Kosovo's second , launching in December 2007. This expansion built on IPKO's foundational role in fostering digital connectivity during Kosovo's post-conflict , addressing persistent issues such as damaged and shortages that had initially constrained growth.

Acquisition and service expansion

This partial acquisition marked a pivotal shift, enabling IPKO to diversify beyond its initial focus on services and launch operations in 2007. By 2018, secured full ownership by purchasing the remaining 6.89% stake, consolidating control over the company's strategic direction. Following the acquisition, IPKO pursued aggressive service expansions to build a comprehensive portfolio. The company initiated fiber-optic deployment in 2007, laying the groundwork for enhanced capabilities, and launched its own optical backbone in 2012 to support higher-speed services. In December 2014, IPKO introduced services, becoming the first operator in to do so and significantly boosting mobile data offerings. Bundled service packages, combining mobile, internet, and fixed-line options, were rolled out in the early 2010s to attract residential and business customers seeking integrated solutions. Key corporate events underscored IPKO's strategic value amid regional tensions. In 2019, initiated a sale process for its full stake in IPKO, receiving bids including a €155 million offer from , but the transaction was halted in November 2020 without completion due to geopolitical sensitivities and IPKO's in Kosovo's . In November 2025, IPKO announced a with cybersecurity firm Whalebone to enhance network-level protections for clients, reflecting ongoing efforts to integrate advanced into its service expansions. These developments drove substantial customer growth, with IPKO's subscriber base expanding from approximately 32,000 broadband users in the late to over 1 million total customers across mobile, fixed-line, and internet services by 2025. This trajectory positioned IPKO as a market leader, leveraging the 2006 acquisition to evolve into Kosovo's primary alternative telecom provider.

Services

Mobile telephony

IPKO launched its mobile telephony services in Kosovo on December 14, 2007, initially offering GSM (2G) network capabilities as the country's second mobile operator. The company progressively evolved its infrastructure, introducing 3G services in December 2013 to enable faster mobile internet access across over 80% of the population initially. In December 2014, IPKO became the first operator in Kosovo to deploy 4G LTE technology, providing enhanced data speeds and positioning it as a leader in mobile broadband innovation.

Fixed-line telephony

IPKO's fixed-line telephony services utilize Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology, enabling efficient voice transmission over its IP-based network infrastructure. Launched as part of the company's expansion beyond initial internet offerings, these services have developed into Kosovo's largest fixed network, with approximately 350,000 ports available to support connections across urban and rural areas. Network expansions, such as the 2012 extension to the town of , have facilitated broader access, particularly in underserved regions. The services provide unlimited calls within the IPKO fixed network at no charge, alongside national calls to other operators at rates starting from 0.05 euros per minute and international dialing at 10 cents per minute. This integration ensures cost efficiency by leveraging the existing IP infrastructure for voice delivery, reducing operational expenses compared to traditional circuit-switched systems. Prepaid and postpaid options are available, with free installation and number assignment, allowing flexible usage for residential and business customers. Subscriber growth in fixed telephony has been steady, with the number of active users increasing constantly due to ongoing network developments and service enhancements. As Kosovo's leading fixed provider, IPKO's landline base benefits from these expansions, contrasting with the overall decline in traditional fixed lines nationally. Fixed-line services are frequently bundled with broadband internet and digital television in triple-play packages, offering discounted rates—for instance, lower per-minute call costs when combined with internet access—and simplified billing for integrated home solutions.

Broadband internet

By 2005, the company expanded into fixed by introducing services for residential customers, leveraging its growing fixed-line infrastructure to deliver higher-speed access compared to dial-up. This marked a pivotal shift toward broader adoption of technologies in the region. The transition to advanced accelerated with the rollout of fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) networks beginning in 2014, as part of a to upgrade from earlier systems and enhance capacity for high-demand applications.

Television services

IPKO launched its digital television services in 2009, marking a shift from analog broadcasting by introducing digital cable TV with bundled packages like DUO (TV and internet) and TRIO (TV, internet, and fixed telephony), alongside a Pay Per View option. In 2010, the company partnered with Digitalb to introduce high-definition (HD) channels, enhancing viewing quality for subscribers. By 2015, IPKO upgraded its offerings with Catch-up TV functionality, allowing users to replay programs, and has since evolved to deliver services primarily via IPTV over its fiber-based broadband infrastructure. The service now provides over 220 channels, including a mix of local Kosovo broadcasters and international content focused on sports, movies, and family entertainment through partnerships with global providers for major and premium film libraries. IPKO emphasizes accessible programming, with features like (VOD) for movies, series, and documentaries, as well as Catch-up TV enabling playback of shows up to 72 hours after broadcast, functioning similarly to digital video recording (DVR). Television packages are available as standalone IPTV subscriptions for €240 annually or bundled within PRIMA plans starting at €22 monthly, which combine TV with high-speed (up to 300 Mbps) and support up to three devices, including smart TVs, mobiles, and tablets via the IPKO TV app for and .

Network infrastructure

Coverage and technology

IPKO's fixed network infrastructure features a (HFC) architecture, supported by an IP/MPLS backbone that enables high-capacity data transmission across centers. The company maintains approximately 350,000 fixed-line ports, providing robust connectivity primarily in major towns and cities, where coverage extends to over 70% of areas. This setup facilitates reliable delivery of and services, with IPKO leveraging the network for video streaming to support its TV offerings.

The mobile technologies employed include for , for , and for services, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of devices. Spectrum holdings encompass the 900 MHz and 1800 MHz bands for operations, supplemented by a recent allocation of the 2.1 GHz band in 2025 under a 20-year license from the Regulatory Authority for Electronic and Postal Communications (ARKEP). Network reliability stands at 99.5% uptime for fixed services, reflecting ongoing maintenance and upgrades that minimize disruptions. Since , IPKO has invested over €200 million in , funding backbone enhancements and site expansions to bolster overall performance. While urban areas enjoy comprehensive coverage, rural regions exhibit disparities, with full access in cities contrasted by partial penetration in remote villages; IPKO addresses this through government-subsidized initiatives to extend services to underserved areas.

5G and future developments

IPKO initiated its efforts with successful testing of the technology in 2022, becoming the first operator in to complete such trials and achieving download speeds exceeding 1.2 Gbps. In 2023, the company launched initial services, including integration, marking a key step in network modernization built on its existing infrastructure. By September 2024, IPKO had expanded its network to cover 100 locations nationwide, enhancing connectivity in urban and rural areas. The Regulatory Authority for Post and Electronic Communications (ARKEP) awarded IPKO a license in February 2023, allocating including 2x10 MHz in the 800 MHz band and 1x100 MHz in the 3.6 GHz band, which supports mid-band deployments for improved capacity and coverage. This allocation enables applications such as (IoT) devices and initiatives, aligning with broader goals in . IPKO's 5G rollout aligns with 's national objectives, targeting 50% population coverage by the end of 2025, 70% by 2027, and 90% by 2029, as mandated by ARKEP's coverage obligations for licensed operators. Full commercial expansion is ongoing, with the company prioritizing nationwide deployment to meet these benchmarks. Despite progress, IPKO faces regulatory challenges from ARKEP, including spectrum allocation delays and compliance requirements, as well as competition from state-owned PTK (Post and Telecom of ) for limited frequencies. These hurdles have prompted calls for a more investment-friendly environment to accelerate adoption.
