"Minister Hüskens Endorses Fiberglass in Stendal"

In the heart of Saxony-Anhalt, the city of Stendal is undergoing a significant digital transformation, with the rollout of fiber optic networks enhancing its digital landscape and property values.

The new, state-of-the-art fiber optic network, enabled by Deutsche Telekom AG, offers significantly higher speeds of up to 1,000 megabits per second. This robust and stable connection is ideal for simultaneous digital learning, working, streaming, and gaming, catering to the increasing number of internet-enabled devices in households. On average, every household in Stendal boasts more than ten such devices, ranging from smartphones and tablets to smart TVs, PCs, gaming consoles, e-book readers, robotic vacuums, solar inverter chargers, and alarm systems.

Fiber optic cables provide much higher transmission rates compared to copper cables, ensuring a reliable and efficient digital experience. Moreover, they are less prone to interference and more robust against external influences, including water, which is particularly beneficial for elderly people with a home emergency call system.

Andreas Meyer, Telekom's regional manager, emphasised that the fiber optic rollout in Stendal is an offer to all property owners in the rollout area to switch to the latest broadband technology for free. This move is expected to increase the value of properties, making it a strong selling point when selling or renting.

For those interested in fiber optic inquiries, the Telekom Shop in Stendal, located at Breite Str. 7, offers assistance. Alternatively, information can be found on Telekom's website at www.telekom.de/glasfaser. To check if your address is included in the fiber optic rollout, simply visit the website.

For property owners, a separate hotline is available at 0800 3304 174. Businesses in Stendal can find information on the website www.telekom.de/vollglas.

The rollout of fiber optic networks in Stendal's districts is progressing rapidly, with Dr. Lydia Hüskens, Saxony-Anhalt's Minister for Infrastructure and Digital Affairs, and Mayor Bastian Sieler recently visiting a Telekom fiber optic construction site in Stendal's Buchholz district. This visit underscores the commitment to digitalising Stendal and meeting the growing digital demands of its businesses.

Furthermore, fiber optic is better for the climate as it consumes less energy than the copper network. When booking a tariff with Telekom, the fiber optic connection will be installed in your home for free. A free hotline for general inquiries can be reached at 0800 22 66100.

With these developments, Stendal-based businesses can react flexibly to the constantly growing digital demands, ensuring they remain competitive in the digital age. The city's digital transformation is not just a step towards a more connected future, but a leap towards a smarter, more efficient, and more sustainable one.
