Open Fiber has just published an update of the coverage regarding the less densely populated areas, i.e. the so-called White Areasannouncing or correcting 110 new Common bound in FTTH or FWA which were not previously and news to PCN (do you know how to check Aruba fiber coverage?).

The project is stimulated by Ultra-Broadband Plan (BUL) of the Government financed with Pnrr funds, and Open Fiber has also introduced innovations to the PCN (Neutral Delivery Point), retying them or moving them to another location. This entails the possibility of activating new ones Common, which were previously attested on unbound PCNs, in Open Stream national

In practice, to connect a municipality to its infrastructure, Open Fiber installs a PCN, necessary for access to operators who will then sell the services to end customers.

All the devices are connected to the PCN elements downstream used to carry the ultra-broadband connection to subscribers, both in FTTH (Fiber To The Home) than in FWA (Fixed Wireless Access)the system that involves the use of a mixed network made up partly of a wired fiber optic network and partly of a wireless network.

However, we remind you that although the binding of PCN (because they are connected or because the PCN has been moved to another location) in theory involves activation in Open Streamit doesn’t actually automatically mean that the area is covered by the fiber, as coverage checks may be necessary for each attack.

This means that you need to take this data with a certain amount of caution as it may not be 100% reliable and it may take some days before Open Fiber or your operator operating in the white areas indicate availability: if so, check again.

Also it is possible that in some Commonalready covered, there are areas a partial coverage and therefore attested on other PCNs that cross the border, so it is possible that already bound Municipalities appear in these lists.

Having clarified this point, here is the list of the new Municipalities, 65 in FTTH e 45 in FWA.
