This public contract was awarded to Orange, which has therefore been the economic partner for the deployment of fiber since 2021: a gigantic project which represents 11,000 km of optical fiber.
From a technical point of view, fiber optic networks to the subscriber (FttH) constitute the best support for the development of innovative digital uses.
Gers is the French department where housing is the most dispersed. The deployment of fiber optic networks therefore constitutes an exceptional project, particularly complicated and costly in rural areas.
According to Gers Numérique, there are just over 10,000 shots remaining to achieve total coverage. After 2 to 3 years of fiber operation, the copper network will be disconnected.
