Sassuolo (Modena), April 20^th 2026 – FiberCop, the company managing Italy’s most extensive and far-reaching digital infrastructure, has already started works to strengthen the fibre optic internet network to homes (FTTH) in the area of Sassuolo, in the province of Modena, in close coordination with the Municipal Authority.

The projects for the construction of the new ultra-broadband network, entirely funded by FiberCop, will involve various areas of the municipality, with the aim of gradually making ultra-fast connections available.
The digital infrastructure set up by FiberCop will reach up to 10 Gigabits per second, allowing the acceleration of the digitalisation of households, businesses and public administration, and enables 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.

“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 planned works are already underway and will affect the entire municipality of Sassuolo.

Existing infrastructure will be used where possible to build the network, while new excavations, where necessary, will be carried out according to environmentally sustainable criteria. FiberCop will work to limit the impact on traffic and proceed quickly with the construction of the new network.
