Review the telephone exchanges in use to use smaller structures able to guarantee the same service through cutting-edge technologies and consequent benefits in terms of environmental impact. This is the objective of the Tim-branded operation, which started from Turin with the center of Corso Bramante, one of the largest in Italy with its approximately 5 thousand square meters and which managed several thousand voice and data connections, has in fact been decommissioned. In its place, in the space of just 24 months, an 850 mXNUMX structure was built nearby, capable of guaranteeing the same levels of service with six times less space, with consequent benefits both in terms of efficiency and infrastructure optimization network (fixed and mobile) and cost reduction and environmental impact.
The rationalization project of the power plant areas will progressively affect other important areas of Italy especially in the big cities. The choice of Turin as the first stop is not accidental. It was 15 September 1977 when the company from which Telecom Italia-Tim was later born laid the first fiber optic cable between urban telephone exchanges in Turin.
In detail, the operation was possible thanks to the use of new technologies and progress transition from copper to fiber, which makes it possible to optimize the spaces dedicated to telecommunications systems.
In this way, it was also possible to decommission the over 60-metre-high mobile telephony mast that had been built in the early 90s, with important benefits in terms of landscape and without changing the mobile radio coverage of the area thanks to the use of an extremely small antenna, in line with current technological standards, positioned on a building adjacent to the previous one.
