After a successful finalisation of the marketing phase by internet provider Yplay Germany GmbH from Altenstadt, the installation of fiber-optic cables throughout Neuberg can now begin. For the official kick-off of the installation, Mayor Jörn Schachtner of Neuberg and representatives of Yplay met at the site where a new point of presence (PoP) has been planned.

Others who were also present at the event included the executive civil engineering contractor GFS (German Fiber Solution) and the project investors, Primevest Capital Partners and MEAG, the asset managers of Munich Re and ERGO. Through their joint venture Open German Fiber, Primevest Capital Partners, MEAG and Ärzteversorgung Westfalen-Lippe are constructing local fiber-optic networks in under-served regions in Germany.

“We are not only investing in fibre-optic networks as such, but particularly in the infrastructure that is essential for the digital future”. “Together with Yplay, we want to launch more projects in the Wetterau area and the Main-Kinzig district in the coming months, thus rolling out a network across the entire expanse of the region”, explains Klaus Leckelt, Senior Acquisitions Manager of Primevest Capital Partners.

“We are very happy to have Yplay as a great local partner and we are proud to invest in a sustainable infrastructure that will boost Germany’s social, economic and digital development,” say Felix Kreppel and David Pecher, Investment Managers at MEAG. When installation begins in the various sub-areas, the residents of Neuberg still have the opportunity to have a connection to their homes installed free of charge. Once work has begun, Yplay can only restrospectively make a connection available for an amount of at least €1,500.

“All residents of Neuberg can now make good use of the opportunity to ensure a free fibre-optic connection. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I look forward to a successful collaboration with Yplay and the civil engineering contractor and thank the investors who gave me an exciting glimpse behind the scenes”, said Neuberg’s Mayor Jörn Schachtner in closing.

Contact details of the contractor (German Fiber Solution) and the current state of the entire installation will soon be available on www.yplay.de/neuberg. Orders can also be placed online via this link.
