RUNE project
Rural Network - Innovative model of financing, business and investment (RuNe), Slovenia & Croatia
Speeds of 1 Gbps will be made available in 340.000 households in those areas through optical fibre technology. The infrastructure will provide residents and small businesses located in these regions with a gigabit Next Generation Access (NGA) broadband infrastructure. The project will provide Fibre to the Home (FTTH) and will offer wholesale services only, on an active layer open-access basis, to other service providers. As a result, citizens of the area will enjoy gigabit broadband speeds.
The quality of services in these deeply rural areas will be the same or higher than in the rest of the country as the end-users will be able to choose from among different service providers. The project is expected to have a very positive impact on the social and economic regions targeted, as it will counter depopulation, create new business opportunities and improve local education and healthcare services.
