Lower Saxony: Lightning -fast expansion for internet and mobile radio until 2030!
Niedersachsen, Deutschland - Lower Saxony has big plans for the digital future. As the Hannoversche General, the construction of funeral masts should be reported and Fiber fiber networks in Lower Saxony are accelerated. The initiative aims to close radio holes and to raise the internet connection for all households to a gigabitable level - by 2030. Minister of Economics Grant Hendrik Tonne emphasizes urgency to increase mobile phone coverage to 99.5 percent.
The approval of the other federal states in the Federal Council is expected on Friday. This further promotes the project, which has already been launched in the Bundestag with a change in the Telecommunications Act. This legal change should enable network expansion to receive priority over other interests, such as monument or environmental protection. In order not to disadvantage the residents, important weighing processes are still taken into account.
increase in network quality
Currently Lower Saxony has a nose in the nationwide comparison with a mobile phone cover of 98.8 percent with 4g and 96.3 percent with 5G. However, in order to achieve the desired coverage of 99.5 percent, numerous new mobile phone masts are required. There are large supply gaps, especially in rural regions such as the Lüneburg Heath and the western Leinebergland, which are made difficult by the complicated topography. Here, the legally defined importance of telecommunications expansion should also apply as an outstanding public interest.
In terms of fiber optic expansion, Lower Saxony takes a respectable second place among the area countries. Around two thirds of households now have access to fiber optic - for comparison: the national average is 40 percent. In order to further promote the expansion, Lower Saxony has already implemented measures for de -bureaucratization, such as the abolition of the building permit for mobile phone masts. Nevertheless, challenges remain: According to an analysis of PwC progress in fiber optic expansion in Germany is only slow.
challenges in fiber optic expansion
To put it simply, there is a problem in many places. The analysis shows that complex approval procedures, a lack of specialists and high costs are among the main causes, why fiber optic expansion stalls. Currently, 43 percent of households in Germany still have a fiber optic connection at the property limit - only 23 percent are actually connected. Even if the federal government sees expansion as an outstanding public interest, reality in many areas is overshadowed by slow progress.With a view to the future, a constant expansion of the digital infrastructure is planned in Lower Saxony. The importance for the modernization of the business location and the general interest is again underlined by the Corona pandemic, the flood disaster 2021 and the Ukraine conflict. The goal is clear: a powerful, digital infrastructure for all citizens. The implementation of these projects will play an important role by 2030 to make Lower Saxony and all of Germany future -proof.
