MYNET FIBER OPTICS ARRIVES IN THE RABIN DISTRICT

Mynet strengthens its commitment to a more connected Mantova, extending its fiber optic network to the Rabin district.

The local operator completed the work at the beginning of May, which lasted about a month, 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 connections activated (with more planned in the coming weeks), was inaugurated today with a symbolic ribbon-cutting ceremony in the central square of the district, attended by the City Councilors of Mantova Nicola Martinelli (Public Works, Districts, Housing Policies), Adriana Nepote (Innovation and Smart City), and Andrea Murari (Environment), the General Director of Mynet Giovanni Zorzoni, and the President of the Rabin District Committee Marco Sivero, promoter of the initiative.

“It is becoming increasingly important to upgrade utility networks with state-of-the-art fiber optic connections. Many projects in the city are going in this direction, benefiting both citizens and businesses, who can use faster and more stable networks. Therefore, the collaboration between Mynet and the Rabin Committee to bring fiber optics to the district is a great initiative,” said Councillor Martinelli.

Councillor Murari added: “It’s fantastic that Mynet and the Rabin Committee have reached an agreement to provide the best possible digital infrastructure for the district. This is not surprising, because a large company, always attentive to the local area, has met with a neighborhood committee with extraordinary capability to act and bring people together. The Rabin district, already highly appreciated and sought after, will now have an additional service of great importance for its residents.”

To conclude, Councillor Nepote said: “What we are inaugurating today is a new form of collaboration between the residents of a neighborhood and a local private company that provides a concrete answer to a need. This shows that a smart city is not just about technological infrastructure, but a place where technology is used to provide solutions to citizens’ needs and ideas. People are always the driving force of a community that evolves and improves.”

“For some time,” said Sivero, “residents in our neighborhood, especially those working remotely, had been reporting problems with the internet connection provided by traditional operators through fiber to an external central office and then copper cables to the customer’s home (FFTC, fiber to the cabinet), often with significant (sometimes total) signal loss. Seeing the work Mynet was doing nearby, we requested a meeting to discuss the possibility of a direct fiber optic connection to the homes, known as FTTH (fiber to the home), overcoming the limitations of the mixed copper network, improving coverage and speed. In the past, some residents had already contacted Mynet, but connection fees were high due to the distance and low number of requests. We then proposed to Mynet the creation of a purchasing group among residents to lower the installation costs of fiber directly to the homes. The company accepted the proposal with an offer based on a minimum number of participants. We shared the opportunity with the residents, and within a few days, about twenty families signed up, with more expected, including our new office. This project demonstrates our commitment to the neighborhood and the area, providing residents with modern infrastructure that replaces one over twenty years old, while supporting a local company in the sector.”

“Despite the many years of activity and the significant growth we have achieved,” said Zorzoni, “we continue to see ourselves as a company deeply rooted in the local community, close to the real needs of local communities. By business choice, which we are proud of, we have stayed away from purely financial logics, reinvesting every profit into the growth of the company, innovation, and research. This year we celebrate our thirtieth anniversary: three decades that have strengthened both our capabilities and our will to intervene wherever a digital divide problem is reported, even in remote and challenging areas for telecommunication infrastructure, like the Rabin district.”
