MYNET FIBER OPTICS ARRIVES IN THE RABIN DISTRICT

05/16/2025

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

The local operator completed the works in early May, lasting about a month, laying 4 km of cables that will allow residents of Yitzhak, Lea Rabin, and Carlo Levi streets to achieve connection speeds of up to 1 Gigabit/s.

The project, which has already seen the activation of 25 connections (with more scheduled in the coming weeks), was officially inaugurated today with a symbolic ribbon-cutting ceremony in the district’s central square, attended by City of Mantua Councilors Nicola Martinelli (Public Works, Neighborhoods, Housing Policies), Adriana Nepote (Innovation and Smart City), and Andrea Murari (Environment), along with Mynet’s General Director Giovanni Zorzoni and Rabin District Committee President Marco Sivero, promoter of the initiative.

“It is becoming increasingly important to upgrade utility networks with next-generation fiber optic connections. Many projects across the city are moving in this direction, to the benefit of citizens and businesses who can now use more stable and faster networks. We therefore welcome the collaboration between Mynet and the Rabin Committee to bring fiber optics to the neighborhood,” said Councilor Martinelli.

Councilor Murari added: “It’s wonderful that Mynet and the Rabin Committee have reached an agreement to equip the district with the best possible digital infrastructure. It’s no surprise, as this brings together a major company — always attentive to the territory — and a neighborhood committee with an extraordinary ability to act and bring people together. The Rabin district, already highly appreciated and sought after, will now enjoy an additional service of great importance for its residents.”

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

“For some time,” said Sivero, “the residents of our neighborhood — particularly those working remotely — had been reporting issues with Internet connections provided by traditional operators, using fiber only up to an external cabinet and then copper cables to the customer’s home (FTTC, fiber to the cabinet), often resulting in significant (sometimes total) signal loss. Seeing Mynet’s nearby works, we requested a meeting to explore the possibility of a direct fiber optic connection to our homes, the so-called FTTH (fiber to the home), thus overcoming the limits of mixed copper networks in terms of coverage and speed. In the past, some residents had already contacted Mynet, but the connection costs were high due to distance and the low number of requests. We therefore proposed to Mynet the creation of a group purchase among residents to reduce the installation costs of fiber directly into our homes. The company welcomed the proposal with an offer based on a minimum number of subscriptions. We shared the opportunity with residents, and within a few days about twenty families joined, with more on the way — including our new headquarters under construction. This project demonstrates our commitment to the neighborhood and the local area, providing residents with a modern infrastructure to replace one more than twenty years old, while supporting a local telecom company.”

“Despite our many years of activity and significant growth,” said Zorzoni, “we still see ourselves as a territorially rooted operator, close to the real needs of local communities. As an entrepreneurial choice — of which we are proud — we have stayed away from purely financial logics, reinvesting every profit into the company’s growth, innovation, and research. This year we celebrate our thirtieth anniversary: three decades that have strengthened both our capability and our will to intervene wherever a digital divide is reported, even in more remote or technically challenging areas such as the Rabin district.”
