1.8 million megaliths stand on the roofs of Rome, from the 19th-century terraces of the historic center to the postmodern balconies of the suburbs. parabolic antenna. By 2027, the capital will have 6,000 small cells hidden between streetlights, advertising facilities or the monumental colonnades of St. Peter’s Square. This is a small Internet signal propagation antenna that can provide connections 10 times faster than your current one. Thus, the 5G era begins in the Eternal City.
The plan is super futuristMayor Roberto Gualtieri announced that “Rome is one of the first cities in the world, along with New York, Singapore, London and Los Angeles, to launch an ambitious plan that will transform the quality of life and services we offer.” , public and private”. The investment amounts to approximately 100 million euros, of which 20 euros will come from the public sector and the rest from the private sector. We will proceed with project financing, a public-private partnership proposed by Australian telecommunications giant Buy Communications. The bid was won in August last year to a temporary group of companies, backed by Unidata, Ifm and Cecchini, and led by Boldyn Networks (newly known as Bai). This funding model was adopted for the waste-to-energy plant, and in today’s news, it’s the same funding model the administration envisions for the construction of Metro D.
This project has a tight schedule. by december 2024: 100 square meters of fiber will be installed covering metro A, B and C stops included in the Jubilee route. Installation of 1,400 cameras and 1,260 IoT sensors. By June 2025, metro A will be covered, metros B and C will be covered at 75 percent and 50 percent, all planned 2,000 cameras will be installed, and 1,800 IoT sensors will be deployed. Masu. Metro B coverage is expected to be completed in December 2025 and Metro C coverage in June 2026. All smart cells are expected to be installed and activated by 2027.Seven municipal buildings, from the center of the Capitoline Hill and some neighboring buildings. Ostiensehas already been confirmed to have 5G cells and coverage.
But in the meantime, an important step is regarding the regulation of antenna location. In a simple example, if a small cell is a connected power strip, the antenna is the source. According to a resolution to be submitted to the Capitoline Assembly next week, the jurisdiction in this matter is: City Planning Department to its economic development. The document repeals the 2015 regulations and approves new regulations, including an annex listing sensitive locations such as schools and hospitals where antennas cannot be installed. The reference route is the zoning regulation in force, on the basis of which the city identifies areas where so-called turrets are prohibited. All corporate procedures will be moved to the digital world. Manufacturers will be able to submit applications to an office to be established within the Department of Economic Development, which will begin the approval process, which ranges from service meetings to scheduled inspections.The local government They can speak, but their opinions are not binding. Control of emissions will remain the responsibility of the regional agency Arpa. Regarding the construction of antennas, requests can be made to any manufacturer, even in networks with other companies, in order to support the provision of services by multiple operators on the same infrastructure.
In the last few hours, on the eve of debate on the floor, several amendments have been made.leftist green alliance The government not only requires new antennas to be linked to a plan that takes into account their balanced placement across the territory while respecting sensitive locations, but also requires funding for monitoring emissions through municipal control units. We also require you to provide resources. Instead, the opposition should submit a request for free market protection, an issue that has already been the subject of an appeal to the Lazio Regional Administrative Court, which has been rejected. As a side note, the council plans to table an amendment that includes a lengthy list of city-owned land where small cells can be placed. “After months of discussion and collaboration, we believe we have arrived at a good ordinance that will enhance the proposals that City Council members are working on,” explained the Economic Development Councilman. Monica Lucarelli -. This is a complex issue and there has been a lot of discussion, including with carriers, but it is a fundamental issue if we want to lead the city towards digitalisation. ” Communication from the terraces travels from the lampposts to the porticos, rather than above or within the city.
