On November 15, 2024, the Stade Montois Rugby in Mont-de-Marsan hosted the second edition of the Fiber Trophies. Organized by the Syndicat Départemental d'Equipement des Communes des Landes (SYDEC) in partnership with the operator Altitude Infra, this event brought together nearly 70 local stakeholders committed to highlighting the pioneering initiatives supporting the digital transition of the department.
Fiber, a territorial success
Thanks to collective mobilization, more than 217,000 fiber sockets have been installed in Landes, including 118,000 by Altitude Infra. The department stands out with a fiber penetration rate of 51% and a remarkably low connection failure rate of 4%. These results illustrate the success of the deployment and the commitment to making digital a driver of development and social inclusion.
