EUROFIBER
Eurofiber , in partnership with Infradata , is paving the way for dynamic smart cities across Europe with its open digital network
A distance of 160 kilometres of fibre optic cable has been laid by Eurofiber since I interviewed the group director of the company exactly one month ago . This impressive statistic is why the Dutch-based open digital network provider is leading the way in helping European cities stay connected .
The pace of deployment is staggering . It started back in 2000 when Eurofiber laid their first 500km stretch of fibre network to connect the four major Dutch cities of Amsterdam , Rotterdam , The Hague , and Utrecht . Today , they have laid more than 39,000km of fibre - laying 40kms each week - have 11 data centres and a digital footprint that covers the Netherlands , Belgium , France and a new branch in Germany .
For any company that lays this amount of fibre optic cable a trusted system integrator is vital if they are going to achieve their goal of helping European cities stay connected . Step in Infradata , who has been a proactive
“ Utilising our own fibre optic network and data centres , we provide smart , open , futureproof cloud infrastructure and connectivity solutions to companies , government bodies and non-profit organisations ”

partner for 10 years helping Eurofiber move from the early days of dark fiber to providing a secure and connected digital infrastructure .
There was a time when a river was the lifeblood of a city for its trade and commerce , but as the pandemic has shown , the future of remote working for millions of people now relies on being connected to a digital world - as does the future safety and security of a city .
Eurofiber is literally laying a lifeline for the digital society of so-called ‘ smart cities ’. The network is already being used to control 75 per cent of the movable locks and bridges along Amsterdam ’ s famous canals . “ Vital infrastructure ” is how the Dutch government designates the company ’ s open digital network which means different providers , from hospitals to FinTech , companies , governments and non-profit organisations
