Roma, 13 November 2024 – Open Fiber - leading FTTH fibre optic network operator in Italy and among the first in Europe - and UNIFIBER - joint venture established by Unidata S.p.A. and CEBF - announce that they have established a collaboration agreement that will allow Open Fiber to reuse the infrastructure network owned by UNIFIBER that already exists in Lazio to extend theFTTH network (Fiber To The Home, the fiber that reaches inside homes) as part of the 1 GigaItaly Plan, a public intervention plan of the Italian Ultra-Broadband Strategy financed by NRRP funds.
The partnership is aimed at accelerating the arrival of the ultra-fast network in the territories of the Region, encouraging timely interventions to reduce the digital divide and improve access to increasingly essential services guaranteed by the connection, in line with the European objectives of the Gigabit society and the Digital Compass.
The infrastructure crosses the municipalities of Bracciano, Colleferro, Albano, Monterotondo, Vetralla, Palombara Sabina, Marcellina, Moricone, Ladispoli, Cisterna di Latina, Formello, Anguillara, Valmontone, Monterosi and Mentana.
"The main objective of Open Fiber is to create a network infrastructure capable of providing ultra-fast connectivity to all citizens, and agreements like this are fundamental to accelerate the development of the Region thanks to our FTTH network" - commented Nicola Grassi, Chief Technology Officer of Open Fiber. "Our infrastructure, in fact, is capable of reaching up to 10 Gigabits per second with maximum performance on all devices. In this way citizens, businesses and public administrations will be able to access remote work, online teaching, public services, telemedicine, home automation and entertainment without interruptions".

PRESS RELEASE
"Unifiber was born with the intention of speeding up the provision of the best Internet access technology in areas that would otherwise have remained excluded and relegated to the state of digital divide - declares Marcello Vispi, CEO of Unifiber - over the course of these years we have took important initiatives, which gave greater impetus to Unifiber and increased its scope of action. But this initiative announced today is particularly relevant to accelerate this virtuous process, with all the resulting benefits for the companies and citizens welcomed and included in our great project. The partnership with an authoritative reality like Open Fiber places us, with our pride, among the protagonists of what is not only an industrial initiative, but also an action of collective benefit, strategic for the country system".
