Infratel Italia Invests €21 Million in Post-Earthquake Digital Infrastructure in Central Italy
Infratel Italia is committing €21 million to enhance digital infrastructure in regions affected by the 2009 and 2016 earthquakes. This investment aims to create over 1,216 km of fiber optic network, improving connectivity and resilience in the region.
Infratel Italia's €21 million initiative under the 'Potenziamento infrastrutturale per la resilienza della comunicazione' project will establish a fiber optic network exceeding 1,216 kilometers. This will interconnect regional Data Centers in L'Aquila, Tortoreto, Ancona, Acquasanta Terme, Foligno, and Terni, with a high-capacity link of 100 Gbit/s.
AI-curated by TheiaThe project guarantees 1 Gbit/s ultra-broadband access to 183 municipal sites across Abruzzo, Lazio, Marche, and Umbria, providing free connectivity for five years. Additionally, it encompasses solutions such as a dedicated radio network for emergency services and solar-powered Wi-Fi points along cycling paths. By integrating existing public infrastructure and acquiring private assets, the project aims to convert historically underserved areas into innovation hubs, promoting digital equity and resilience.
