Broadband even in the smallest town

Broadband expansion is a service of general interest — even and particularly in small communities such as Wittlekofen. The expenditure per household is higher here than in the city, but the need is the same: Home office, digital administration and economic development are hardly conceivable without a fast Internet connection. As part of the municipal broadband expansion program, the municipality of Wittlekofen commissioned Klefenz GmbH to install the fibre-optic empty conduits.

The special feature: Wittlekofen is a small village with a high proportion of unpaved roads and agricultural land. Here, Klefenz preferred the cable plough, which can be used quickly and gently on these surfaces.

On the paved local roads, classic slotting or milling was carried out and the empty conduits were laid in a protective tube network. All routes were documented using GPS references so that the future network operator knows the exact location of the pipe systems. Klefenz handed over the complete inventory documentation, including measurement reports, to the municipal administration.

Small project, big impact

The broadband project was a milestone for Wittlekofen. Klefenz understands that even small measures are of great importance for the affected communities — and treats them with the same care as major projects. Timely completion, clean restoration of surfaces and complete documentation: this is standard for Klefenz, regardless of project volume.

Result: Wittlekofen developed, documentation handed over

The fibre-optic conduits in Wittlekofen have been laid and documented. The municipality thus has the civil engineering basis for the later fibre-optic network. With the completion of the measure, Wittlekofen is a big step closer to digital connectivity, which was long overdue for citizens and businesses.
