The National Strategy for Ultra-BroadbandNational Strategy for Ultra-Broadband The National Strategy for Ultra-Broadband aims to develop an ultra-broadband network in Italy and accelerate our country’s digital transition, in line with the European targets contained in the Digital Compass. The National Strategy for Ultra-Broadband consists of seven interventions: 1 Giga Italy Plan, White Areas Plan, Voucher Plan, 5G Italy Plan, Connected Schools Plan, Connected Health Plan, Small Islands Plan. The Italian government has launched the 1 Giga Italy Plan, which aims to guarantee connection speeds of at least 1 Gbps download and 200 Mbps (Megabits per second) upload throughout the country by 2026. aims to develop an ultra-broadbandBroadband The term broadband, in telecommunications, generally refers to the transmission and reception of information data at a connection speed of over 144 kb/s. Broadband organises different channels, conveying different content in the form of data, such as Internet radio, animation, audio files and high-definition video. networkNetwork In computer language, the term network defines a set of hardware and software devices which, when linked together, enable the exchange and sharing of resources, data or information. In a computer network, the devices that generate, route and terminate data are called network nodes. in Italy and accelerate our country’s digital transition, in line with the European targets contained in the Digital Compass.
