Open Fiber’s coverage plan
We have drawn up a coverage plan to bring fibre optics to our country. This allows us to serve not only the A&B Clusters, i.e. the large urban areas in which there are 282 Italian municipalities, but also the C&D Clusters, the so-called White AreasWhite Areas White Areas are those where private operators have not deemed it worthwhile to invest and therefore lack broadband and ultra-broadband infrastructure. with low population density.

In a computer network, the devices that generate, route and terminate data are called network nodes. infrastructure FTTHFTTH “Fiber to the Home” is the technology that connects POPs, located in exchanges, to end users’ property units with fibre optics. (Fibre To The Home), or alternatively FWAFWA Also known as ‘Wireless Local Loop’ (WLL), FWA refers to the use of radio solutions to cover the last mile to property units dispersed in very sparsely populated areas. A main antenna, typically connected to the network via fibre optics, covers an area of varying size where an antenna is mounted on each property unit equipped with an apparatus that transforms the radio signal and enables the connection of the CPE (Customer Premises Equipment), the electronic device used as a user-side terminal. (Fixed WirelessWireless Connections that use ‘wireless’ transmission systems to connect the user’s device to the network. Typical examples are 3G, 4G, Wi-Fi, and WiMax.
