ROME (ITALPRESS) – “Our digital and shared infrastructure available to all telco operators is the mobile network element most enabling connectivity, including 5G, and thus the digital transition. According to a recent study, digital innovations will improve our lives by creating smart cities and thus making cities safer, faster and greener. In this context, thanks to the ubiquity of our more than 24 thousand towers and more than 500 DAS coverage for indoor locations and the development of 5G by telecommunication operators, it will be possible to accelerate Italy’s development, with a leap forward not only in large urban agglomerations, but also in small villages and rural areas.” So said Michelangelo Suigo, director of External Relations, Communication and Sustainability at Inwit, at a conference organized by I-Com, on the occasion of the presentation of the annual report on new-generation networks and services. “This will make it possible to initiate the development of new applications in many areas: from monitoring air quality or fires, energy use and traffic patterns, to reducing health care costs, water consumption, waste and harmful emissions,” he explained. “The model on which our digital infrastructures are based brings industrial, economic and environmental efficiency to the value chain: greater economic and industrial efficiency for our customers, the tlc operators, as well as increasing environmental efficiency,” Suigo added, “because it leads to less use of resources and land and reduced CO2 production. Therefore, enhancing the role of digital and shared infrastructures as enablers of the digital transition would not only help support the growth of the sector, but also consolidate progress toward a more advanced, secure and efficient digital future. In order to do this, it is necessary to reduce the bureaucratic burden, both in the implementation and in the full application at the local level of the national simplification regulations already adopted. The execution of the interventions of the Italy 5G Plan – PNRR Densification in digital divide areas, for example, is in fact registering 42 percent denials and oppositions. Only with the contribution of all the actors involved and with the overcoming of obstacles to infrastructure implementation will it be possible to accelerate digitization and thus achieve the goals of the EU Digital Decade,” Suigo concluded.(ITALPRESS).-Photo: Inwit press office-
