Bastia Umbra (Perugia), 07 November 2025 – FiberCop, the company that manages Italy’s most extensive and far-reaching digital infrastructure, is continuing to strengthen the fibre optic internet network in the area of Bastia Umbra.  Works to build the new ultra-broadband network have already reached 85% of buildings, with the aim of making ultra-fast connections available.

The digital infrastructure put in place by FiberCop in Bastia Umbra can reach speeds of up to 10 Gigabits per second and will accelerate the digitalisation of households, businesses and public administration, enabling innovative services such as 4K streaming, remote work, telemedicine and digital services including traffic management, street lighting and environmental monitoring. In addition, fibre will help the environment by reducing CO2 emissions.

Residents can check service availability with their chosen telecoms operator and request activation to benefit immediately from the performance of the new network.

“FiberCop continues to invest in the country’s digital transformation, promoting the adoption of fibre and facilitating access to advanced services across its territory”, said Gianni Crocetti, FiberCop’s Head of Operations for Northeastern Italy. “The availability of infrastructure that can handle ever-growing traffic volumes over stable, high-speed connections will support businesses in developing their activities and improve quality of life for citizens, contributing to the growth of the local economy.”  

Planned works

Wherever possible, existing infrastructure was used to install the new network, including public lighting ducts. Excavation works, where required, have been carried out according to environmental sustainability criteria. FiberCop worked with the Municipal Authority to minimise the impact on traffic and proceed swiftly with delivery of the new network.
