Broadband expansion in the Rems-Murr-Kreis: Giga Hitz and rural deficits!
Rems-Murr-Kreis, Deutschland - The broadband expansion in the Rems-Murr-Kreis picks up speed. A new report shows that the district is one of the fastest catchers in all of Baden-Württemberg. What does this mean for the future of digital infrastructure in the region? With the increasing proportion of gigabitable connections it becomes clear: The district urgently needs a thrust to keep up with the urban regions.
According to current information, the proportion of gigabitable connections will increase from 32 percent to an impressive 41.6 percent by the end of 2024. This brings the Rems-Murr district to fourth place in the comparison of the counties in Baden-Württemberg nationwide.

Suboptimal status: rural communities in particular are running after the expansion and often remain left behind.challenges in rural areas
The truth is that fiber optic expansion in rural regions is by no means a sure -fire success. According to the [Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture] (https://www.bmel.de/de/themen/laendliche-regions/digitales/breitband-und-mobilfunk, it is a constant challenge to adequately provide these areas. High investment costs due to the lower population density and longer expansion times due to larger distances are added. Without public funding, the providers often become unattractive to invest in smaller communities.
The good news is that there are already strategies at the political level to cope with these difficulties. Public grants from the federal government and the federal states as well as cooperations between counties, municipalities and telecommunications companies are intended to help the expansion. A technology mix that is also used in LTE could also serve as a bridging solution.
Future view and strategy
In Germany, the goal is to offer fiber optic connections across the board by 2030. This would not only increase the attractiveness of rural regions, but also secure their future viability. The status quo shows that in mid -2024 43.2 percent of households already have access to fiber optic connections, with only 22.8 percent actually connected. This quota clarifies that there is still a lot of room for improvement to increase the use.
Mobile phone supply is also an important topic. The Federal Government's mobile phone promotion program aims to also equip Rems-Murr regions with powerful mobile infrastructure. At the end of 2024, 267 projects should be completed to improve care in uneconomical areas. This could help close the white spots in mobile phone supply that currently still make up 2.2 percent of the area of Germany.
In summary, it should be noted that a lot is moving in the Rems-Murr district, but the path to digital full care is still long. Political support, innovative concepts and the cooperation of all actors are required to leave the rural communities back.| Details | |
