Fiber in Amsterdam

Advantages of fiber in Amsterdam

Amsterdam is the most densely populated municipality in the Netherlands. Nearly 900,000 people live there and more than 8,000 companies are based in the greater Amsterdam area. Connecting residents, businesses and institutions requires a sustainable, fast and flexible IT infrastructure. The fiber-optic infrastructure in Amsterdam has three advantages that meet these requirements.

Flexibility and sustainability in an open network

Eurofiber’s fiber-optic network is open. This means that different service providers can offer their products and/or services on our infrastructure. As a result, the network can be deployed flexibly and is not dependent on a single, solitary service provider. Since users can add or remove network applications and services themselves, the fiber-optic infrastructure can be adapted to a rapidly changing market, significantly extending its total lifetime.

Ultra-fast connection due to high bandwidth

High bandwidth ensures an ultra-fast connection, which is why organizations are steadily raising 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 reliable, constant and unlimited data exchange and availability. Eurofiber is responding proactively to this trend and aims to continue its leading role by providing organizations with a ultra-fast connection that is ready for the future.

Stable, reliable connection

Fiber-optic infrastructure facilitates a reliable and redundant network, and Amsterdam is no exception. The extensive bandwidth offered by fiber-optics makes it increasingly easy to run IT systems at multiple locations. If one connection is disrupted, it is possible to switch seamlessly to another. Work can continue at all times, without any interruption.

Fiber-optics lay the foundation for Smart City Amsterdam

Connectivity is vitally important to the municipality of Amsterdam. Offices depend on a reliable network, but so do devices and services. Devices such as information panels, sensors, cameras and access gates are also connected to a network. As a result of the open connection, fiber in Amsterdam lays the foundation for a smart city. The municipality will become smarter, more sustainable, and more efficient in terms of information exchange and technology.

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