Project summary:

DETAILS OF THE EXTENSION PROJECT OF THE NETWORKING COMPANY "LA CALA FIBRA, S.L."
1.- CURRENT SITUATION
The local operator "LA CALA FIBRA, S.L." currently has a mixed network of fibre optics and radio that covers the entire municipality of L'Ametlla de Mar (Tarragona, Spain) and provides all kinds of telecommunications services to 1,260 customers.
The fibre optic network (type GPON) is installed in the entire urban core of the municipality, while the surrounding suburbs, with more than 2,000 houses, are covered with a radio network (Wimax).
2.- PROJECT FOR THE NEW ENLARGEMENT OF THE NETWORK
As a result of the success of the services offered by the company LA CALA FIBRA, the management of the company has decided to start a new extension of the fibre optic network, reaching to the nearby municipality of Camarles and also installing another radio signal distribution tower, using the Wimax system, in the suburb "Les Tres Cales" of the same municipality.
3.- AREAS TO BE COVERED WITH THIS EXTENSION OF THE NETWORK
The municipality of Camarles has an area of 25 km2 and a population of 3,349 inhabitants. In the municipality, there are 1,245 first residence houses and 151 second residence houses. Apart from the main urban centre, in the municipality, there are three more villages: La Granadella, Ligallo del Gànguil and Ligallo del Roig.
The suburb "Les Tres Cales" of the municipality of L'Ametlla de Mar, is a residential area with more than 2.000 houses. It is located about 2 km from downtown and covers has around 3.5 km2. The owners are 32% Spanish, 21% French, 12% English, 9% Belgian, 6% German, and the rest are from other European nationalities.
4.- TECHNOLOGIES OF THE NETWORK TO BE EXTENDED
-The fiber optic network will be deployed with FTTH-GPON technology, which allows access to the internet and associated services at speeds of 2 or more Gb/s in both directions and allows the transport of signal, without amplification, at distances of up to 20 km, providing each client with a symmetrical connection at speeds between 100 and 1000 Mb/s.
-The radio access system for customers used by the company LA CALA FIBRA is the Wimax technology, based on the 802.11ac standard, which uses the free usage frequencies of 5.8 Gz., and can achieve a quality coverage of up to 15 Km and provide symmetric internet connection speeds up to 40 Mb/s.
5.-EXPECTED RESULTS AND SOCIAL IMPACTS
With the aforementioned network expansions, the following results are expected:
-Contract 850 new clients over the next three years
-Increase average monthly billing by 25%
-Reduce unsatisfied demand for lack of broadband coverage
The following social impacts will be obtained:
- Satisfaction of the pending demand of many residents from the suburb "Les Tres Cales" that are outside the present coverage area, feeling somehow isolated.
- Improvement of the degree of satisfaction from the higher level of quality from the access service by radio, in the area of "Les Tres Cales".
- General satisfaction of residents and companies for having the same offer of telecommunications service as big cities have, at more competitive prices and with a closer attention offered by people from the same municipality.
