Viavi Solutions announced that Italian wholesale fiber provider, Open Fiber, has selected a centralized optical test solution from VIAVI to support its ambitious goal of delivering 100 percent ultra-broadband coverage with Gigabit speeds for the whole of Italy.
Open Fiber currently provides connectivity for 300 national and international service providers and serves 14 million Italian households.
By the end of its 2022-2031 plan, the wholesale-only provider aims to cover approximately 24 million households, including unserved and underserved areas, effectively ending the digital divide between urban and rural areas within Italy.
