The Italian Government plans to implement the PNRR through specific public investment programmes in the context of "ultra-fast networks" in line with the European objectives geared towards the Gigabit Society and the Digital Compass.

With the "Italia a 1 Giga" plan, the Italian Government aims to build a fiber-optic network that will provide at least 1 Gbit/s download and 200 Mbit/s upload connectivity to residential units that are currently not covered by networks offering download speeds of 300 Mbit/s or more. 

With the "Piano Italia 5G - Backhauling" programme, the Government is also supporting the deployment of 5G mobile networks to significantly improve wireless connectivity by deploying fiber cabling to existing Base Transceiver Stations (BTS).

With the "Piano Italia 5G - copertura" project, the Government is going to densify the 5G mobile network to ensure high-quality mobile connectivity with transmission speeds of at least 150 Mbit/s in downlink and 30 Mbit/s in uplink.

Engineering design, land assessment (using "walk-in" and "walk-out" approaches), Permit Management, Construction Management and Safety Coordination: by providing professional services that draw on our extensive 20 years of experience in the sector, we make a significant contribution to the progress of our Country.

We conduct field inspections to survey property units not yet covered by an ultra-fast connection. We start with a preliminary assessment to determine the realistic and optimal feasibility of implementing a new network infrastructure. We then plan and design the civil components of the new network (such as excavations and support structures) and the optical elements (such as cables and equipment) using state-of-the-art GIS software.

Our in-depth knowledge of the territories and local Authorities with which we have worked for decades means we can meet the challenging objectives of securing permits and authorisations in the shortest time possible. In addition, our widespread presence across Italy and the multi-disciplinary expertise of our teams, which have many years of experience and the ability to serve several clients simultaneously, allow us to manage worksites as Construction Managers, Safety Coordinators and acceptance testing specialists. All these services, including software applications that guarantee efficient business management, are provided with flexibility and speed.
