Campobasso, 6 May. (askanews) – Speed, security, interconnections, social inclusiveness, maximum reliability in data transmission: a very important leap beyond the frontier of the most sophisticated innovation and cutting-edge research, always on the side of citizens, companies, communities, has been carried out by the Molise Region. And all this thanks to the FTTH (Fiber to the home) network – the only one capable of guaranteeing speeds of 1 gigabit per second and beyond, and high performance – which has reached 130 municipalities in the Region ( 49 in the province of Isernia and 81 in Campobasso) with the service already available for citizens: in total 133 thousand connected homes and 688 central and local public administration offices, including municipal offices, police stations, schools, libraries, hospitals and clinics. “Molise is the first and only Italian region to have completed the fiber infrastructure interventions in the municipalities envisaged by the Plan. – explained councilor Salvatore Micone – A great result especially for the internal, rural and mountain areas which are at high risk marginality and territorial isolation. An important and long-awaited step that goes towards the correct valorization of our territories, towards an increase in the quality of life of citizens and greater employment availability. Now we must dedicate ourselves to other areas that involve critical issues and some structural difficulties to start a path that is increasingly richer and with more possibilities to share”. An operation of great technological and civic impact, the closure of the BUL Plan in Molise, officially baptized on Monday morning at the headquarters of the former Gil, headquarters of the Tourism Department, in the presence of the Councilor for the Digital Transition Salvatore Micone, of the CEO of Open Fiber Giuseppe Gola, Luigi Cudia responsible for Infrastructure and Operations Infratel Italia. Giuseppe Gola, CEO of Open Fiber, commented: “We are still in an intermediate phase, since the creation of such a branched network precedes its full use to ensure that the quality of life of citizens is raised and to encourage as much as possible the total migration from copper to fiber in the shortest possible time. Completing this project was important above all to restore importance to those so-called market failure areas, where no private individual would have made such huge investments in the network. From today a village has the same connectivity of a large metropolis, and thus allows itself to include schools, offices, homes, all digital life.”. In addition to the small villages and more isolated municipalities covered by the BUL plan, Open Fiber is present with a FTTH network in Campobasso, Isernia and Termoli with a private investment of 8.3 million euros and a total of 47 thousand connected homes. Open Fiber aims to guarantee coverage of the major Italian cities; to date the company has put over 13.5 million FTTH real estate units up for sale and is the main FTTH operator in Italy, among the leaders in Europe.
