MYNET FIBER OPTICS ARRIVES IN THE RABIN DISTRICT

Mynet is strengthening its commitment to an increasingly connected Mantua by extending its fiber optic network to the Rabin district.

The local operator completed work, which lasted about a month, at the beginning of May, laying 4 km of cables that will allow residents of Yitzhak, Lea Rabin, and Carlo Levi streets to reach connection speeds of up to 1 Gigabit/s.

The project, which has already seen 25 users activated (more are planned in the coming weeks), was inaugurated today with a symbolic ribbon-cutting in the central square of the district in the presence of Mantua Municipal Councillors Nicola Martinelli (Public Works, Neighborhoods, Housing Policies), Adriana Nepote (Innovation and Smart City) and Andrea Murari (Environment), Mynet General Manager Giovanni Zorzoni, and the President of the Rabin Neighborhood Committee, Marco Sivero, who promoted the initiative.

"It is becoming increasingly important to infrastructure underground networks with latest-generation fiber optic connections. Many interventions in the city are moving precisely in this direction, benefiting citizens and businesses who can use more stable and faster networks. So, the collaboration between Mynet and the Rabin committee to bring fiber optics to the neighborhood is a good thing," declared Councillor Martinelli.

Councillor Murari added: "It's wonderful that Mynet and the Rabin committee have reached an agreement to equip the neighborhood with the best possible digital infrastructure. It's not surprising, because a large company, always attentive to the territory, and a neighborhood committee with an extraordinary capacity to act and bring people together, have met. The already much-appreciated and sought-after Rabin neighborhood will have an additional, very important service for its residents."

Councillor Nepote concluded the interventions: "What we are inaugurating today is a new form of collaboration between the inhabitants of a neighborhood and a private local company that provides a concrete response to a need. This demonstrates that a smart city is not just technological infrastructure, but the place where, through technology, solutions are offered to the needs of citizens and their ideas. People are always the driving force of an evolving and improving community."

"For some time," Sivero recounted, "residents of our neighborhood, especially those working in smart working, reported problems with the Internet connection provided by traditional operators via fiber to the external exchange and then with copper cables to the customer's home (FFTC, fiber to the cabinet), often with a significant (sometimes total) loss of signal. So, having seen the work Mynet was carrying out nearby, we requested a meeting to evaluate the possibility of a direct fiber optic connection to homes, so-called FTTH (fiber to the home), thus overcoming the limitations of the mixed copper network, to the benefit of coverage and speed. In the past, some residents had already contacted Mynet, but the connection costs were high due to the distance and the low number of requests. We therefore proposed to Mynet the creation of a purchasing group among residents to reduce the costs of installing fiber directly in homes. The company accepted the proposal with an offer based on a minimum number of adhesions. We shared the opportunity with residents, and in a few days about twenty families joined, with more adhesions arriving, including our headquarters under construction. This project demonstrates our commitment to the neighborhood and the territory, offering residents a modern infrastructure that replaces one over twenty years old, and supporting a local company in the sector."

"Despite many years of activity and the significant growth we have had," Zorzoni declared, "we continue to consider ourselves an operator with strong territorial roots, close to the real needs of local communities. By entrepreneurial choice, of which we are proud, we have remained distant from purely financial logics, reinvesting every profit in the growth of the company, in innovation, and in research. This year we celebrate our thirtieth anniversary: three decades that have strengthened both our capacity and our willingness to intervene wherever a digital divide problem is reported to us, even in the most distant and complicated neighborhoods or areas in terms of telecommunications infrastructure, such as the Rabin neighborhood."
