TISCALI and ZTE partner for ultra broadband network in Sardinia

Tiscali and ZTE have entered into a strategic partnership agreement with the aim of fostering the development of ultra-wide broadband in Italy, starting with the deployment of an FTTH network in Sardinia. The partnership between ZTE and Tiscali will include collaboration from a technology and trade/financial standpoint to evaluate, study and design next generation services that Tiscali can provide to its customer base.In the first phase of the project Tiscali and ZTE will implement a fiber optic network in Sardinia, taking advantage of the ongoing work for the local gas network in the extended Cagliari area, which includes over 50 thousand lines of LLU coverage.

This project, designed both by Tiscali and ZTE, will be inserted into the context of the other licenced operators in Italy that are on the frontline asking government and institutions to establish a fiber optic network.
