Installation
Find answers regarding the installation of fibre optics.
The installation will be carried out by a company appointed by us who will call you to arrange an appointment. For security reasons, our technicians can always be recognised by their identification badge.
No, this is not necessary. However, it is essential that the premises where the BTP (Building Termination Point) will be installed can be easily accessed by our technicians.
Our system is dedicated to each building for its exclusive use. The technology we use is 100% Fibre to the Home (FTTH) and therefore brings fibre optics from the street network to your home. The installed network is passive, meaning it does not require any connection to the electrical grid and does not consume the building energy.
A series of regulatory measures legitimises the request to have fibre optics in apartment buildings. These regulations stipulate that the appointed technician may enter the common areas of buildings to carry out installations, without the need for a building resolution.
We always agree on inspections with the building administrator or owner. Once access has been planned, our team will post a notice with all the relevant information for the building’s tenants.
Wherever and whenever possible, we will reuse pre-existing infrastructure to minimise costs, reduce the impact on the area in terms of open construction sites and to speed up implementation. Among the networks we can use are the electricity network (overhead and underground), public lighting, the network of decommissioned aqueducts and gas, and the telecommunications network.
We are creating the largest fibre optic network in the country, ensuring coverage not only in large cities, but also in small towns. There is therefore no need to request the cabling of your own building; Open Fiber is pursuing the goal of cabling more than 24 million property units in the coming years.
Check if your building is covered by our infrastructure.
The fibre optic installation by Open Fiber is fully covered by the company. You therefore do not have to bear any costs for either the implementation or the subsequent maintenance of the system.
To benefit from fibre optics at home, you will not need to do any work: the cabling is carried out by certified professionals, using all possible ducts or pipes already present in the property.
Yes. Open Fiber’s optical fibre does not carry electricity, so cables can be placed in existing cable ducts.
