PRESS RELEASE
 

FTTB network for Plauen (Saxony)
 

Fiber Connections completed for 12,000 households
 

- More than 1,100 buildings directly connected with fiber (FTTB)

- Ducts installed for future upgrade to FTTH

- Gigabit-ready infrastructure


Berlin/Plauen, 11 April 2019. Tele Columbus AG, one of Germany's leading fibre-based network operators, finalized the FTTB deployment for 12,000 households in Plauen. Over 1,100 buildings of WbG Wohnungsbaugesellschaft Plauen mbH and AWG WOHNUNGSGENOSSENSCHAFT PLAUEN eG are now connected to a gigabit-ready and future-proof infrastructure that can cope with all future demands for broadband and multimedia supply.
 

Deployment of the fiber city network started in early 2018, with 8.5 kilometer of groundworks and a total of 98 kilometer fiber lines being installed both in new as well as old ducts. Now, the fiber is laid out all the way to the buildings of WbG and AWG, transporting the signal of the newly constructed central headend.


A modernization of the in-house distribution brought micro ducts into the buildings, enabling a cost-efficient FTTH upgrade at a later stage. In order to bring the fiber up to each apartment, fiber lines only have to be blown into the existing ducts.


Together with the completed fibre deployment, the former coax cables as well as multiple electrical signal amplifiers do not need to be run any longer. The fiber connection ensures highest network availability and reliable broadband connections for Plauen.
