Open Fiber has invested 10 million to connect 28 properties in Asti to ultra-broadband.
The company has signed an agreement with the Municipality that will allow the city of sparkling wine to take steps towards the connection in FTTH (Fiber To The Home) mode, which will allow you to navigate at a connection speed on the web up to 1 Gigabit per second.
The agreement was presented this morning, during a press conference in the Sala Giunta of the town hall, in the presence of the mayor, Maurizio Rasero, the Councilor for Infrastructure, Stefania Morra, the Regional Manager of Open Fiber for Southern Piedmont and Liguria, Giovanni Romano Poggi, and the Field Manager who will follow the project for the city of Asti, Carlo Gestro.
Going into detail, the agreement establishes the excavation and restoration methods for laying the optical fiber, as required by the ministerial decree of 2013. "Open Fiber will use, where possible, cable ducts and already existing underground or overhead networks to limit as much as possible any inconvenience to the community. Excavations will be carried out favoring innovative and low environmental impact methods. The works to build the total 150 kilometers of infrastructure throughout the city have already begun, and the cabling plan will be completed within 18 months. They will be laid out altogether 16 kilometers of fiber optics,” reads the company's press release.
“Among the factors that can decree the success of a project – explained Giovanni Romano Poggi of Open Fiber – there is undoubtedly the synergy with the municipal administration. In the case of Asti, we have distinctly felt the interest in our plan, and we are also receiving great support from the technical office, fully involved in planning our interventions. Thanks to this collaboration, we will try to make the works less invasive by reusing already existing infrastructures for about 40% of the overall development of the work".
