Mayor Remelé receives award for fiber optic strategy!

Schweinfurt shows itself to be digitally fit: Mayor Sebastian Remelé was honored as a “digital politician”. He received this honor from the Federal Association of Broadband Communications (BREKO) and recognizes his commitment to fiber optic expansion and the digital transformation of the city. Under his leadership, Remelé, who is also chairman of the supervisory board of Stadtwerke Schweinfurt GmbH, relied on fiber optic technology at an early stage. This foresight has not only made the city future-proof, but has also created numerous advantages for business and education.

As part of the BREKO “Fiber for Future” initiative, the role of municipal decision-makers who actively promote the expansion of a real fiber optic infrastructure is highlighted. The mayor emphasizes that the fiber optic expansion should be seen as a crucial investment in the future that ensures economic growth and progressive education. He expressly thanks the teams from the city administration, the municipal utilities and RegioNet for their tireless efforts.

Expansion and innovation in Schweinfurt

Stadtwerke Schweinfurt GmbH has invested millions in the expansion of its fiber optic network in recent years. Thousands of households are already benefiting from FTTH (Fiber to the Home) connections, and the next expansion phases are already being planned. This future-proof infrastructure is the basis for innovative concepts such as Smart City and telemedicine. As Thomas Kästner, Managing Director of Stadtwerke Schweinfurt GmbH, states, the award is a sign of the municipal utility's strategic orientation and commitment to digital infrastructure.

However, expansion has not only made great progress in Schweinfurt. Fiber optic expansion was also pushed forward in other regions, such as Vettelschoß. Deutsche Glasfaser recently completed the expansion of the fiber optic network there, and all FTTH connections were laid as planned. Around 1,600 households in Vettelschoß are now well prepared for the digital future. A modern network concept ensures lower energy consumption and a resource-saving design that is based on the European standard of the FTTH Council.

Digitalization for everyone

With the new concept, the telecommunications network only uses 20% of the electricity of a conventional copper network. Technical components are designed to be more efficient and space-saving than before. In the next few months, the Deutsche Glasfaser team will also begin providing follow-up connections for interested households who decide to get a connection later. Further information is available online.

In summary, there is a clear trend towards digital networking in the region, with initiatives setting standards in both Schweinfurt and Vettelschoß. This makes the digital future come alive and tangible - from which every household can benefit.
