Round table fiber optic networks set up

"We need to keep the front in the international location competition in the future. That is why we bring together the most important players in the area of glass fiber with the 'round table", exchanged ourselves about the current challenges and - very important - also develop very concrete solutions, "said the deputy minister and digitization minister Thomas Strobl on the occasion of the opening event for the" round table glass fiber net "on January 19, 2023 in Stuttgart.

better networking of the actors

The goal of the round table fiber optic is to better network all involved actors and to intensify the cooperation in fiber optic expansion in Baden-Württemberg. Interior Minister Thomas Strobl had invited representatives of the private telecommunications companies, the associations of the broadband industry, the municipal umbrella organizations and the state administration to Stuttgart. In the future, the meeting should take place at least twice a year.

"We only create the comprehensive expansion of gigab -capable networks together, in the end of the shoulder of private and state -funded expansion. We all have to pull together, because nobody can solve this task alone. All participants here and today are still unclear. Precisely because the federal government promotes the broadband promotion for the year 2023, we have to speak together with a strong voice. We manage to develop the still under -the -manage areas.

backbone of digitization

The expansion of fiber optic networks and the latest mobile phone standards such as 5G are fundamental conditions for a successful start to the gigabitz age. "Especially in an area and technology country such as Baden-Württemberg, in which not only the citizens, but also the companies are particularly dependent on a powerful mobile phone and fiber optic infrastructure, we need a nationwide supply of broad-band mobile radio and gigabinable fixed networks," explained digitization minister Thomas Strobl. The two areas, the fiber optic and mobile network expansion, and thus the backbone of digitization, so to speak, were merged in this legislature in the Ministry of the Interior, for digitization and municipalities. For all questions about mobile phone expansion, Interior Minister Thomas Strobl had already launched a “round table mobile phone” last year.
