Fiber in Rotterdam

Benefits of fiber in Rotterdam

Rotterdam is a modern, dynamic metropolis focused on the future. To stay at the forefront in the import and export sector, this major port city needs an open, future-proof ICT infrastructure. Fiber in Rotterdam offers many advantages that will help the municipal authorities and the city’s companies and institutions to become future-proof for the longer term. The three main benefits of fiber are listed below.

Open network provides flexibility

Eurofiber’s fiber-optic network is open. This means that different service providers can offer their products and/or services on our fiber-optic network. As a result, you have complete freedom to add or remove services and applications to your network as you see fit. This open model enables you to optimally configure your ICT environment.

High bandwidth ensures ultra-fast connection

High bandwidth ensures an ultra-fast connection, which is why organizations are constantly upping their bandwidth requirements. 10 Gb/s is considered the standard, and demand for 100 Gb/s services continues to grow. A solid fiber-optic infrastructure lays the foundation for unlimited bandwidth and ensures constant, reliable and unlimited data exchange and availability. Eurofiber aims to continue playing a leading role in this process and provide organizations with a future-proof, ultra-fast connection.

Stable connection

Fiber makes it possible to guarantee a redundant, reliable network –  since the extensive bandwidth offered by fiber-optics boosts the appeal of running IT systems at multiple locations. If one connection is disrupted, it is possible to switch seamlessly to another connection without any interruption in workflow.

Fiber-optics lay the foundation for Smart City Rotterdam

Fiber provides a future-proof solution that benefits smart cities like Rotterdam. The municipality is growing towards a smarter, more sustainable, and more efficient city in terms of information exchange and technology. Fulfilling the ambitions to become a smarter city requires high-quality, secure digital infrastructure that is ready for the future.

Flexible, secure and reliable

Fiber in Rotterdam lays the foundation for innovations such as sensor technology, resilience, mobility solutions, 5G and big data. Network flexibility, security and reliability play a major role in realizing these innovations.

A flexible network makes it possible to respond to the rapidly changing needs of the city’s people and organizations in terms of network services. Security is vital when sharing sensitive information, and a reliable network ensures that critical processes cannot fail or be disrupted.

Major Dutch municipalities work together to optimize the smart city

Together with the other four G5 cities across the Netherlands, Rotterdam is investing in developing the optimal smart city. Each city has its own focus in the development process. Amsterdam is focusing on circularity, The Hague on safety & security, Eindhoven on smart mobility, Utrecht on healthy urban living, and Rotterdam on sustainability. These different focal areas complement each other, allowing the municipalities to learn from each other and eventually transform into fully fledged smart cities.
