DELIVERS 21ST CENTURY CONNECTIVITY WHILE PRESERVING ITS HISTORIC BAROQUE CHARM

Varaždin, population 50,000, is located in the northwestern part of Croatia, 81 kilometers north of Zagreb. The city, which sits on the right bank of the Drava river, is best known for its baroque buildings and its textile, food and IT industries. Today, Varaždin is a very popular tourist destination, and hundreds of thousands of tourists travel to Varaždin and the surrounding areas throughout the year. 

The city’s tourist attractions include the old town fortification, the town center, numerous museums and galleries and even the Varaždin cemetery, which is protected as a horticultural monument. Perhaps the city’s most unique attraction is its collection of more than 10,000 stuffed insects.

During the summer months, the town also holds many festivals, including its music festival, called Varaždin Baroque Evenings, and the annual Špancir Festival, a street festival for strollers. This year’s Špancir Festival featured 1,600 participants and 250 programs.

Ivan Cehok, Mayor of Varaždin

MOTOROLA’S MOTOMESH™ DUO DELIVERS THE BANDWIDTH, COST AND FLEXIBILITY REQUIREMENTS DESIRED BY VARAZDIN’S VISIONARY MAYOR

A key goal of Ivan Cehok, the mayor of Varaždin, is to ensure that Varaždin remains a popular tourist destination as well as an attractive location for businesses and a safe and pleasant city in which to live. Thus the mayor began looking for a broadband solution that would allow the city to provide broadband connectivity free of charge to tourists – thus allowing them to easily connect with the outside world while on holiday – as well as connectivity to residents and local businesses. But he had one big challenge: The broadband network equipment must preserve Varaždin’s beautiful, historic baroque buildings.
