Open Fiber and Wind Tre continue to work together to develop ultra-broadband connectivity services in Fiber To The Home (FTTH) technology in Italy. The agreement, which is already active in the first 13 cities reached by Open Fiber fibre optics infrastructure, has now been extended to other 258 Italian cities (for a total of 271) included in the so-called A and B clusters, which cover 60% of the population. This partnership, which will be valid until 2024, facilitates the migration of Wind Tre fixed-line customers towards Open Fiber network.
Through the Fiber To The Home technology, the whole route between the telephone exchange and the customer’s home will be covered with fibre optics. And in this way, almost 10 million building units, including houses and companies, will be able to obtain the best performances, reaching a speed of 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) for both download and upload.
The agreement supports Wind Tre evolution, not only for the fibre optics network, but also for 4G and 5G mobile network, in order to meet the needs of consumer and business customers. Wind Tre is achieving important investments in digital infrastructure, with the aim to become a reference player in fixed-mobile integration and in developing new generation fibre optics networks.
