Chiampo (Vicenza), 29 October 2025 – FiberCop, the company managing Italy’s most extensive and far-reaching digital infrastructure, has started works to strengthen the fibre optic internet network in the area of Chiampo, in the province of Vicenza, in close coordination with the Municipal Authority.

The project, fully financed by FiberCop, involves the construction of a new ultra-broadband network that will reach a speed of up to 2.5 Gigabits per second, and, in the coming months, up to 10 Gigabits per second.

Thanks to FiberCop’s fibre, the municipality of Chiampo will have an infrastructure that 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.

“The start of works to install the fibre network marks a crucial step for our community,” said Filippo Negro, Mayor of Chiampo. “Thanks to our collaboration with FiberCop, citizens, businesses and local organisations will have access to a fast, reliable connection, an essential tool for meeting today’s challenges and those of the future. This project will not only drive innovation and support local economic development, but also improve quality of life for our citizens, making Chiampo increasingly modern and connected.”

“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

The works have begun recently and will cover most of the municipality during 2026.

Wherever possible, existing infrastructure will be used for fibre installation, including public lighting ducts. Excavation works, where required, will be carried out according to environmental sustainability criteria. FiberCop will work with the Municipal Authority to minimise the impact on traffic and proceed swiftly with delivery of the new network.
