Edificio C Trentino broadband initiatives To turn Trentino into a land of innovation and enable all citizens and businesses to benefit from it, the Province of Trento has been implementing a medium-long term plan based on three steps: 1. Deployment of the territorial fiber optic backbone and fast actions to overcome the 1 st generation Digital Divide with the aim of providing urban areas with a connection speed of up to 2 Mbps Accesso Backhauling Backbone 2. Upgrade the copper network to provide 100% of the population with a connection speed of up to 20 Mbps and create more than 500 Free WiFi areas CPE RAME SOPRALZO UCR APPARATO FO DSLAM IP REMOTE FEEDER / FEEDER CENTRALE CAVO FO WDM / SDH CATALYST Rete OPM WDM / SDH GIGA /TERAROUTER VoD Server NAS Rete OPB Rete di dorsale Nodo Fibra Edificio Comunale Hyperlan Punto - Multipunto Internet 3.

Trentino Network GDE SET Synergies GDE and Trentino Network are exploiting synergies at multiple levels: 1. Trentino Network infrastructure monitored by SET Distribuzione (access control, physical security, energy, air conditioning, UPS) 2. SET Distribuzione sites progressively connected in broadband by Trentino Network 3. Fiber to the Home (FTTH) deployment leveraging low voltage power grid tubes and holes - 13 -
Trentino Network GDE SET Work conjunction Fiber optic deployment in conjunction with other civil works (e.g. public lightning) Sharing or interconnecting telco and electricity manholes Intercepting electrical distribution boards to enter buildings - 14 -
Future trends and synergies Why we envision even stronger collaborations in the future: 1. DSO (Set Distribuzione) power grid needs more real time bidirectional communication, which is not guaranteed by all existing networking solutions 2. For handling smart grid scenarios the power grid management need to rely on standard IP networks (even if with all required security and privacy) 3. For NGN deployment there is a strong need of reusing existing infrastructure o reduce cost and time to deploy
