Expansion of Fiber Optics in Hanau City is Managed by a Private Enterprise

In the city of Hanau, the expansion of fiber optic connections is a private initiative, with various companies offering these services. The city's role is limited to ensuring proper construction and street restoration after work is completed.

Mayor Claus Kaminsky emphasizes that each property owner decides whether they want a fiber optic connection. Companies offering fiber optic services are the only points of contact for questions, products, contracts, or advice. Citizens should contact the respective companies directly, not the city administration.

One such company advertising for fiber optic connections is CyrusOne, offering connections through their Data Center FRA5 in Hanau. This modern computing centre is designed for high-performance network connections. Other specific companies with fiber optic offers in Hanau may be found in search results.

Employees of these companies are approaching homeowners directly to promote these connections. It is essential to understand that the city administration is not involved in the sales process. Markus Menzen, a city official, appeals to citizens to clarify this confusion.

The city of Hanau has invested around 12 million euros in digitizing schools and connecting them to the fiber optic network. As a result, the fiber optic network for educational institutions in Hanau now stretches over 32 kilometers.

Previously, there have been issues with construction and restoration, so the city closely monitors the work. Permits are required from Hanau Infrastructure Service (HIS) for companies laying fiber optic cables in Hanau streets. The city ensures the permit and orderly execution of construction sites associated with fiber optic installations.
