Lampertswalde: Super-fast fiber optic network for all locations!

Things are currently very busy around the community of Lampertswalde in the Meißen district, because the village community can look forward to a real technological advantage. Sachsen-Energie has now installed a super-fast fiber optic network that offers speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second. A real ray of hope for the approximately 1,000 residents and 135 businesses that now benefit from this modern infrastructure. All districts, including Lampertswalde, Mühlbach, Quersa and many others, are now connected. This also closes the digital divide that is often found in rural regions. [diesachsen.de].

The expansion was no coincidence: Sachsen-Energie invested a whopping 9.4 million euros in this measure, which modernized the village infrastructure not only digitally but also in terms of infrastructure. For example, optimizations were made in the medium and low voltage network as well as the renewal of street lighting during the expansion. The citizens were regularly informed about the status of the construction work in the municipal newsletter, which once again shows that transparency is very important.

Role model function of the project

The nationwide initiative to create equal living conditions underlines the importance of the nationwide expansion of fiber optic internet. In Germany, the expansion of the digital infrastructure is now getting serious, and gigabit funding 2.0 undoubtedly plays a central role in this. This focuses on bringing fiber optics into every building, with particular support being given to areas where telecommunications companies would not invest themselves. bmv.de informs that the application for funding should now be even more structured thanks to the specifications of a new catalog of criteria. Municipalities and other local authorities can work directly with telecommunications providers to advance their projects.

In addition, a gap-closing pilot program is offered that specifically addresses small remaining areas that are unlikely to be developed. In this way, the federal government shows that it is up to the challenges of the digital age. The approval process for smaller fiber optic expansion projects should also be simplified.

Positive effects for the region

The new fiber optic expansion in Lampertswalde not only has a direct positive impact on the residents. It also makes the area attractive to potential new companies that rely on a stable and fast internet connection. The possibility of working from home and the connection to modern communication solutions are a decisive factor for many companies today. Those responsible at Sachsen-Energie also have a good hand, as they have made the implementation efficient through cooperation with regional civil engineering framework contract companies.

The first reactions from the community show that there is great joy about the new network. At a time when fast internet is more than a luxury, work is being done here in Lampertswalde to keep digital development at the forefront. And that is indeed a big step forward for this charming region. While people in big cities sometimes forget how important digital connectivity is for rural areas, this step gives local people the chance to get involved in the digital age.
