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.

The NIC is an electronic device installed inside the PC that allows the computer to interface with the network. Performing all logical processing functions, it enables the connection of a device and the subsequent transmission and reception of data.

The NDPNDP The NDP (Neutral Delivery Point) is the network node that allows all Operators to access the infrastructure built by Concessionaires such as Open Fiber. Each NDP terminates all the fibres laid in the area of the relevant municipality, which are used to bring ultra-broadband connection to users.

Next Generation Network is the next-generation access network, which is based on optical fiberOptical fiber A cable made of glass fiber through which a light signal is transmitted over long distances for broadband network access. Compared to copper cables, optical fiber can transmit signals much faster, up to 40 Gigabits per second. It is therefore ideal for quickly transferring large amounts of data; it is also unaffected by external interference (electromagnetic interference, temperature variations, etc.). While fiber optics certainly offers the advantage of fast, high-quality and secure data transmission, its high installation cost is a drawback for network builders.

Neutral hostNeutral host Neutral host is a model designed to optimise the costs involved in providing cellular network signal coverage inside large buildings or for temporary events such as trade fairs or gatherings. In such cases, each Operator should set up its own infrastructure (masts, antennas, power, etc.). A neutral host solution would instead allow a single infrastructure to be set up and access to be sold to all interested Operators. is a model designed to optimise the costs involved in providing cellular network signal coverage inside large buildings or for temporary events such as trade fairs or gatherings.
