Very high-speed – Areas of private and public initiatives

(/uploads/Image/69/IMF_LARGE/GAB_HERAULTNUM/400_521_Zone-Pub-Priv.png)For the deployment of optical fiber to the subscriber, or FTTH, the Department of Herault has been divided into two zones.

The first is an area of private initiative, composed of the very dense area of the City of Montpellier (multi-operators) and the area ‘Call for Manifesto of Investment Intention’ (AMII), corresponding to the 56 most densely populated municipalities, where private operators (ORANGE or SFR) ensure the construction of the network of all the dwellings under the supervision of the State, the Prefecture and the local authorities concerned, each user then having the opportunity to choose the operator of his choice who will make the final connection.

The second is an area of public initiative, called the network Hérault Numérique, brings together the other 286 municipalities. The Departmental Council has taken the initiative to connect all the premises (inhabitants and organisations) of its municipalities through a Public Service Delegation (DSP) with the company COVAGE, a neutral and reputable infrastructure operator.

These different areas share the same objective, allowing 100 % of Héraultais to be connected to fiber optics by the end of 2022.
