The expansion of the “Ultra-Fast Connectivity infrastructure” project is covering an increasing number of regions
In order to reduce the digital divide and enable residents of all regions of the country to access high-quality internet services, the Public Institution “Plačiajuostis internetas” is implementing the project “Ultra-fast Connectivity Infrastructure”. The goal of the project is to ensure access to gigabit-speed broadband for entities that promote social and economic progress.
During the implementation of the project, the necessary infrastructure is being installed, creating the technical conditions to benefit from the advantages of ultra-fast connectivity. The infrastructure is reaching an increasing number of remote areas in the regions of Kazlų Rūda, Anykščiai, Alytus, Elektrėnai, Jonava, Jurbarkas, Kaišiadorys, Kalvarija, Kaunas, Kėdainiai, Marijampolė, Molėtai, Pakruojis, Panevėžys, Pasvalys, Plungė, Prienai, Radviliškis, Raseiniai, Skuodas, Šiauliai, Tauragė, Ukmergė, Utena, and Zarasai.
Currently, 839 entities that promote social and economic progress have the opportunity to connect to the infrastructure. These include 760 business entities, 33 communities, 5 libraries, 8 medical institutions, 22 infrastructure objects, 1 school, 7 social institutions and 2 public order institutions.
“We are pleased to see the project steadily moving forward. We see a growing number of connected entities and covered areas, which indicates a tangible impact on the digital development of the regions. The activities implemented under the 'Ultra-Fast Connectivity Infrastructure' project are already bringing tangible benefits to public institutions, businesses, and the broader community,” says Donatas Bernatonis, Head of the Network Technologies and Development Department.
The project is funded by the Recovery and Resilience Facility under the “Next Generation Lithuania” plan.
