History of Netcity infrastructure

Netcity Telecom was established in 2008. Access to the Netcity Infrastructure was opened to users in 2009, when the first telecom service providers successfully installed the first fiber optic cables in the underground.

In the following years, Netcity continued to expand and operate the underground infrastructure and at the end of 2012 Stage I objectives were achieved, following a 100% private investment of over 36 million euros.

The stages completed by the end of 2023 include over 2.570 km of continuous sections of underground infrastructure, distributed into 106 functional loops representing homogeneous areas in Bucharest.

Goal

The goal of Netcity project is to migrate the aerial networks owned by the telecommunication operators into an underground network with multiple safety benefits, thus improving visual aspect of the city.

Netcity Telecom designs, builds, manages and operates an underground infrastructure, with the guarantee of equal, transparent and non-discriminatory access to all companies and telecom operators that activate or want to provide telecommunication services in Bucharest.

Initiative

In 2008, Bucharest City Hall initiated the process of generating the necessary documentation for the Netcity project – an underground fiber optic metropolitan infrastructure that would offer its services to any interested user.

The initiative of the municipality was materialized in the open public auction, organized in August 2007. The contract for the development of the metropolitan fiber optic infrastructure was signed on June 2nd, 2008.

For the development, operation and management of the Netcity network, a special purpose vehicle named Netcity Telecom was set up in 2008.

During the contract term of the concession agreement, Netcity Telecom pays to the Bucharest City Hall a royalty of 12% from the revenues generated out of the basic services.

Netcity Coverage

By the end of 2023, Netcity underground infrastructure connects over 50.000 premises (including residential ensembles and office buildings).
