Siena, 29 October 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 Siena, in close coordination with the Municipal Authority. Works to build the new ultra-broadband network have already reached 83% of buildings, with the aim of making ultra-fast connections available.

The digital infrastructure put in place by FiberCop in Siena 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.

“The coverage that has been achieved so far marks a significant result, even compared with the regional average for areas of a similar size”, said Giuseppe Giordano, Councillor for IT Services and Digital Development. “That said, this cannot be considered a final milestone: the Municipality of Siena’s goal is to reach those users who are still without access. To this end, in addition to the national programmes currently being implemented under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), we are counting on FiberCop’s ongoing collaboration and support.”

“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.”

Works carried out

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.
