East Tyrol's glass fiber revolution: Lienz leads broadband expansion!

Lienz, Österreich - The Lienzer Talboden is a pioneer in broadband expansion. Currently 31 kilometers of light wave conductors (LWL) have been laid in Lienz, which together with 236 kilometers of emptying ears and 207 distribution boxes form the backbone of a future -oriented fiber optic network. The project is located in the final phase of the implementation phase III of the broadband master plan, which was launched in 2015 when the municipal council took over the initiative for fiber optic transfer after A1 did not want to submit a corresponding plans. Since then, East Tyrol has presented a remarkable pace in expanding the internet infrastructure, which emerges as crucial in today's world with advanced requirements for internet connections.

In total, 2582 objects in Lienz already benefit from this progress, 1004 of which now have an active LWL connection, which is over 45 % of the target group. The Lienzer waterworks that took over the project in 2018 not only set up a solid know-how, but also used the existing empty pipes of the district heating to integrate the fiber optic cables. This efficiency in particular contributes to the total investment of 6.1 million euros, of which 2.5 million euros come from funding from the state of Tyrol.

high speed for all

The fiber -based internet access enables breathtaking speeds of up to 1000 megabits per second and more. The point-to-point connection ensures that the signal is directed directly to each apartment, which makes the connection more faster and more stable. Providers such as Magenta, Tyrolnet and IKB are already active on the market, although A1 is also planning an entry. These providers pay rent to the city of Lienz and the planning association 36, which is a welcome source of income for the city.

However, there are still challenges, especially in the south of Lienz, where some areas, such as the peace settlement, still stand without fiber optic connections. Talks with a magenta are underway to find solutions for the future retrofitting.

The future of internet connections

The need for fast internet connections grows daily. Whether data streaming, artificial intelligence, video conferences, home office or online gaming-the demands on a reliable network increase rapidly. Light wave directors are considered the future technology for fast and environmentally friendly internet. The advantage of LWL is not only the high transmission rate, but also the low signal losses and a significant insensitivity to disorders. No matter whether single fashion or multi-fashion, glass fiber brings the digital revolution to our domestic living room.

"Glass fiber is the future," said experts in the field. The infrastructure for copper cables is preserved until further notice, but the switch to fiber optics proves to be future -oriented, especially for areas with suboptimal internet connections. In Austria, around 25 % of households are already connected to the fiber optic network, and A1 plans to supply 70 % of households by 2025. This makes it clear that Lienz is not only one step ahead, but also acts at the amount of time.

A well -developed fiber optic network like in East Tyrol is more than just a technical innovation; It is crucial for the digital future that affects us all. This is how we can be sure: here in Lienz it is progressing at the speed of light.
