Fiber optics: Fibercop and Plenitude reach ultra-broadband throughout Italy.

Fibercop has planned investments of around 10 billion between July 2024 and 2027 with the aim of connecting over 20 million homes with fibre optics by 2027.

Fiber optics: Fibercop and Plenitude reach ultra-broadband throughout Italy.

Fibercop, the operator of the country's most widespread digital infrastructure, and Plenitude have signed a strategic agreement to make their ultra-broadband fiber optic network available to Plenitude's customers. The agreement will allow Plenitude to take advantage of the widespread presence of Fibercop's network to offer its customers advanced, high-performance connectivity services, with speeds of up to 10 Gbps throughout the country.

Fibercop enables digital solutions for citizens, businesses, and public administrations.

With 28 million kilometers of fiber throughout the country, Fibercop provides the entire ecosystem of Operators with a neutral, modern and secure infrastructure to support the development of innovative solutions allowing New digital services for citizens, businesses and public administration, from 4K streaming to smart working, up to telemedicine and the most advanced technological developments such as artificial intelligence, robotics, and edge computing.

The agreement is part of Fibercop's strategy to collaborate with the entire operator ecosystem, making its infrastructure available to support the country's digital transformation. A concrete commitment to the development of an open and competitive ecosystem and capable of generating value for industrial and technological partners.

The goal is to connect 20 million homes by 2027

Fibercop has forecasted between July 2024 and 2027 Approximately 10 billion in investments with the aim of connecting over 20 million homes with fiber optics By 2027, Fibercop has already connected approximately 15 million networks. By the end of June, the deadline for the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, it will have completed all planned work, including those under the Italy 1 Giga Plan, where Fibercop has received approximately €2,3 billion for a total of 10 regions and 2 autonomous provinces, equal to over 1.2 million households, to be connected.

In 2025 Fibercop has also completed the new backbone, a digital highway Fibercop connects its proprietary access centers distributed throughout cities to the main national POPs (points of interconnection) and all strategic data centers nationwide, ensuring ultra-fast, resilient, and secure connectivity throughout the country. Fibercop, in short, is accelerating and aiming to transform the network from a simple infrastructure to a strategic platform for digital services. Artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and, increasingly, the applications of the new frontier of quantum computing are traveling over fiber.
