Fiber optic expansion in Memmingen: Online information evening on December 10th!

A lot is happening in Memmingen when it comes to digitalization: On Wednesday, December 10th, an online information event on advanced fiber optic connections will take place. This event, which starts at 6 p.m., is organized by the city of Memmingen in collaboration with the Federal Gigabit Office. Mayor Jan Rothenbacher recommends that even those who are satisfied with their internet consider a fiber optic connection, because the advantages cannot be denied. Those interested can take part via their computer or a smart device; registration is not necessary. Anyone who would like to follow the event in the town hall can register atbreiteband@memmingen.de or by phone at 08331 850 1180.

The topics of the event are diverse and relevant: information is provided about the current state of expansion of the fiber optic infrastructure, future installations are discussed and the need to consider a fiber optic connection is highlighted. The city of Memmingen is drawing attention to possible restrictions for residents that may arise as a result of the necessary construction work. But don't worry, the city will closely monitor the proper execution of the work and the restoration of the roads.

Digital pioneer in the region

The city of Memmingen is working intensively to position itself as a digital pioneer in the region. This is underpinned by the recently signed declaration of intent between OXG and the city of Memmingen, which aims to massively expand a gigabit-capable fiber optic network. Over 10,500 households will benefit from this expansion, and owners can now give their consent for a free fiber optic connection. This is intended to ensure that the citizens of Memmingen not only enjoy fast internet, but can also rely on the highest transmission quality.

The fiber optic expansion in Memmingen is not just a local project, but is viewed by the federal government as an “overriding public interest”. Their goal is clear: every household in Germany should have a fiber optic connection available by 2030 at the latest. In Memmingen, however, “real FTTH connections”, i.e. Fiber To The Home solutions, are used here, which route the fiber optic cable into your own apartment or house. This eliminates the need for old copper cables, which ensures a reliable internet connection - even during high usage.

In addition to the advantages for users, the city of Memmingen also hopes for a positive economic stimulus from the fiber optic expansion. Investments by telecommunications companies ensure that the digital infrastructure continues to expand and the quality of life of citizens also increases. Mayor Rothenbacher is behind the project and is passionately committed to nationwide fiber optic coverage. With these steps, Memmingen is ushering in a new era of digital quality of life and getting ready for the future.
