Rede Aberta has completed the deployment of ultra-fast fibre optics in the rural area of the municipality of Pontedeume, allowing homes and businesses to access an ultra-fast, stable and more secure Internet connection.
Residents will have access to a neutral network connection of more than 300 Mbps. To do so, the service must be contracted through a local telecommunications operator. Rede Aberta, which has just completed two years of activity, is present in 49 rural municipalities in Galicia. With more than 1,300 kilometres of cable laid to provide neutral fibre optic service, it reaches more than 125,000 homes.
In addition, it is the successful bidder for the deployment of the UNICO plan of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation for the province of A Coruña, which involves bringing high-capacity fiber optics to 36,556 homes in rural areas.
