Northeim starts digital departure: fiber optic network for companies!

The district of Northeim, together with Deutsche Telekom, has set off to significantly improve the digital infrastructure in the region. In a solemn ceremony, a cooperation agreement was signed, which provides for the funded expansion of a fiber optic network in the commercial areas of Einbeck, Uslar, Dassel and the municipality of Bodenfelde. For the companies based there, this measure will significantly improve access to high -performance internet connections at speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second (Gbit/s).

This project is not just a technical step into the future; It also shows how essential modern internet connections are for the economy. Astrid Klinkert-Kittel, the district administrator of the district of Northeim, emphasizes the constantly increasing demands of companies in digital communication options: "Band width is as important today as gas, water and electricity". The planned expansion of the fiber optic network should begin in the second quarter of 2025 and are expected to be completed by the end of 2026.

digital progress for companies

Peter Richter, the group's group, was enthusiastic about the agreement. He described the contract as a crucial step to secure the digital future of the commercial areas in the Northeim district. The problem of the so -called "white spots", ie regions without adequate internet connections, will soon be a thing of the past with this project. This will not only increase the quality of life of the citizens, but also strengthen the competitiveness of the local companies.

The concrete plans stipulate that Telekom ensures that the network always remains up to date. The goal is not only to meet current needs, but also to anticipate future developments in the digital landscape. A strong internet connection is considered a decisive location factor that not only attracts companies, but also makes the entire district more attractive as a place to live and work.

Through this expansion, the district of Northeim becomes one of the pioneers in terms of digital infrastructure in the region. In the long term, this could also have an impact on other communities that lag behind in the development of their internet connections. According to Klinkert-Kittel, it will be important to actively shape this digital development so that local companies can not only exist, but also flourish.
