Serravalle Pistoiese (Pistoia), 08 August 2025 – FiberCop, the company managing Italy’s most extensive and far-reaching digital infrastructure, is continuing to strengthen the fibre optic internet network in the area of Serravalle Pistoiese, in close coordination with the Municipal Authority.

The project, fully financed by FiberCop, involves the construction of a new ultra-broadband network that will bring fibre to homes, making available connections with speeds of up to 10 Gigabits per second.

Thanks to FiberCop’s fibre, the municipality of Serravalle Pistoiese will have 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.

“This initiative aims to ensure a faster, more stable and reliable connection for all residents and businesses in the area,” said Alessio Gargini, Deputy Mayor and Councillor for Public Works. “The rollout of fibre is a crucial step in upgrading our digital infrastructure and will help bridge the technology gap, fostering the economic and social development of our community. We are aware that an efficient internet connection is essential to meet the challenges of the modern world and to support work, study and communication needs. We invite all residents to follow updates on the Municipality’s official website, where more details are available on the streets involved and on timelines and methods of the works. I would like to thank you all, on behalf of myself and the Council, for your cooperation and patience during this transition towards a more connected, digital future.”

“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 Francesca Petriacci, FiberCop’s Head of Operations for Central 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

Works will start in the areas of Serravalle, Ponte di Serravalle, Casalguidi and Stazione Masotti and will continue with the aim of covering most of the municipality during 2026.

Wherever possible, existing infrastructure will be used for fibre installation, including district heating infrastructure. Where excavations are required, innovative, low-impact techniques will be adopted. FiberCop will work with the Municipal Authority to minimise the impact on traffic and proceed swiftly with delivery of the new network.

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