According to the latest data from the AGCOM Observatory, data traffic is growing rapidly. In the telephony panorama, Vodafone is confirmed as the second operator in Italy in FTTH technology: broadband connections entirely in optical fiber The world of telephony is changing rapidly, traffic volumes on the mobile network are increasing, fiber-optic lines have now supplanted the old systems connection. This is what emerges from the latest surveys by the AGCOM Communications Observatory. The most striking figure is the growth in the number of fast networks active in fixed telephony: from December 2019 to the same month of 2020, the total weight of fiber optic networks and FWA (Fixed Wireless Access, a transmission system that uses frequencies of the radio spectrum) went from 53% to 63.7%.
Furthermore, the number of users who choose to abandon the connection system with copper cable to switch to a fast technology of the FTTH or FTTC type continues to increase. In the last year, the technology that has grown the most is FTTH, with an annual increase in activations of 48.6%. The acronym FTTH stands for “Fiber to the Home”, ie “fiber to the home” and indicates ultra-broadband connections in which the connection from the transmission center to the end user’s modem is made entirely of optical fiber . With a market share of 16.4%, Vodafone is confirmed as the second operator in Italy and the first of the OLO operators, i.e. with a license to install and supply public telecommunications networks, in order to make telephone and telephone services accessible to consumers. Data connection. Vodafone networks are mainly present in the FTTC and FTTH segments.
One in five FTTC networks and one in four FTTH networks have activated a subscription to the Vodafone network. The different tariff plans offered allow you to surf at a speed of up to 1 Gigabit per second.
For your home users you can choose between:
• Internet Unlimited, designed for those who need to surf and do not need to make phone calls;
• Internet Unlimited + calls, which includes unlimited internet traffic and unlimited calls to all fixed and mobile network numbers in Italy;
• Giga Family Infinito Edition, the tariff plan that allows you to comfortably manage the fixed line and the mobile one, with a fast and unlimited connection from home, unlimited calls to fixed and mobile numbers from fixed lines and unlimited giga from mobile, at one speed maximum of 10 Mbps.
A range of offers and possibilities that make the Vodafone network reliable and with excellent performance to make the most of the speed of the fiber optic network. In addition, to improve the navigation flow, Vodafone offers the Vodafone Station modem with Wi-Fi Optimizer, an exclusive software capable of managing and optimizing the navigation flows of all home devices connected to the network.
Vodafone’s research and innovation strategy is in line with some of the objectives of the European Digital Agenda program, namely to provide 100% of the population with the possibility of accessing the network through connectivity services with connection speeds of at least 2 Mbps. Currently FTTH technology ensures more stable connection, high performance and low environmental impact. The flexibility and strength of the filaments that make up the cables, in fact, make them less prone to damage. With less maintenance, the amount of gas and dust in the environment is reduced.
