Coverage plan
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 Areas with low population density.
The goal is to guarantee a connection with a performance of up to 10 Gigabits per second for upload and download nationwide, through the creation of fibre-optic network infrastructure FTTH (Fibre To The Home), or alternatively FWA (Fixed Wireless Access) technology, in order to reach even the most remote areas.
See the progress of works in C&D municipalities
The browsable map shows the progress of works for the implementation of the network infrastructure, with FTTH and FWA technology, in the municipalities belonging to the C&D cluster.
In particular, it is possible to see (where possible) when a construction site will start in the relevant municipality (Site Plan) and the progress of the work with the status of the site: in planning, opening, closing, work completed, tested, available to Operators. Additionally, there is also technical information: UI, CPA/LPA, OE Amount, Contractor, PM Supplier/SSC.
Notes
(*) In the event that a Municipality with FWA (Fixed Wireless Access) coverage displays:
- “Worksite Status: Open” but lacks information regarding “Order of Execution Amount,” “Executing Company,” or “DL/CSE Provider,” this indicates that the coverage for the User Interfaces (UIs) within that Municipality is provided by FWA radio base stations located in neighbouring Municipalities.
- “Worksite Status: service over 30 not planned,” this means that FWA technology coverage is not foreseen, and only FTTH (Fibre to the Home) will be available.
(**) You can download the comparison table between the Open Fiber website and the Infratel website regarding “Construction Status.”
The work plan for the deployment of ultra-broadband (UBB) in Italy
Open Fiber aims to build ultra-broadband (UBB) network infrastructure to help reduce the digital divide in Italy and to promote widespread access, from North to South, to fast and efficient connectivity services. A project that Open Fiber is implementing with private and public investment funds.
Work Plan in Black Areas
Black Areas are the most densely populated urban areas where ultra-broadband deployment is promoted by private funds. In these areas, in recent years, Open Fiber has built fiber-optic infrastructure (FTTH – Fiber To The Home) in more than 240 cities with direct investment.
Work Plan in White Areas
White Areas are the least densely populated areas, where Open Fiber operates as a public concessionaire after having won the three Infratel tenders, the in-house company of the Ministry of Economic Development (MISE) that promotes the construction and integration of infrastructure for the use of ultra-broadband internet services in these areas. Open Fiber is responsible for the design, implementation, maintenance and 20-year operation – in wholesale mode – of the network infrastructure, which remains publicly owned. Currently, we have opened the marketing of connectivity services in more than 4,800 municipalities belonging to these areas.
Work Plan in the Areas of the ‘1 Giga Italy’ Plan
The ‘1 Giga Italy’ Plan Areas are those identified by Infratel after consulting private operators on the mapping of present or planned infrastructure as of 2026. Specifically, these are areas that are not covered by at least one network capable of reliably providing download connection speeds of 300 Mbit/s or more. Open Fiber participated in the 1 Giga Italy Tender by winning 8 lots (1) to cover the property units in the above-mentioned areas with networks capable of providing connection services with at least 1 Giga download speed reliably. Open Fiber will provide Operators with wholesale access to the subsidised infrastructure.
1. The 8 lots include the following regions: Apulia, Tuscany, Lazio, Sicily, Emilia Romagna, Campania, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Veneto and Lombardy
