What the CEO of Inwit, Giovanni Ferigo, said about 5G at the company's second Stakeholder Forum
5G is restarting, but Italy is still lagging behind according to Inwit.
This is what emerged from the speech by the CEO of Inwit, Giovanni Ferigo, who today opened the company's Stakeholder Forum 2022.
The event was attended, in addition to the CEO Ferigo, by Laura Cavatorta, president of the sustainability committee of Inwit and of the ESG committee of Snam; Daniela Bernacchi, general secretary of Un Global Compact Network Italia; Paola Mascaro, president of Valore D and Michelangelo Suigo, director of External Relations, Communication and Sustainability of Inwit.
In particular, Inwit continued its path towards creating a sustainable business model in 2021. The sustainability plan to 2024 is in line with the United Nations 2030 Agenda and sets challenging targets, in order to strengthen the creation of value for the company. “With more than 23,000 towers and 46,000 accommodations, our assets are among the best in Italy, both structurally and in terms of positioning”, underlines the company.
All the details on the point of the company of the towers.
WHERE IS 5G IN ITALY
“From an industrial point of view we are in a happy period with the towers, these last two years have shown how fundamental connectivity is”, said the CEO of Inwit, Giovanni Ferigo. “The market and the technological context are on the rise, thanks to the evolution of wireless technology that is extending 5G coverage and the related densification needs: 5G is starting up again. Although I must point out that Italy remains among the least developed countries in terms of 5G connections (only 8%) despite having started first, and we must make up for the time lost in the last year ”, he added.
THE ROLE OF INWIT OF NEUTRAL HOST
“With its infrastructures and its know-how, Inwit is at the center of the new digitalization race, with the aim of solving a problem of not only technological but also social marginalization”, underlined Ferigo.
Furthermore, “we continue to meet the needs of our customers, thanks to our role as a“ neutral host ”which allows us to support the main wireless operators in the market. In addition to the mobile operators (Tim, Wind, Iliad and Vodafone), the Fixed Wireless Access operators are also very important, i.e. Eolo, Open Fiber, Linkem and Fastweb. The latter are very active in the sector to provide connectivity where the fiber will arrive later ".
ABOUT INNOVATION
“From the point of view of innovation we are always very active” added the CEO of Inwit. “We continue our experiments in what are adjacent business sectors. In the Iot world: we started from the smart city which was a very technological concept, but now we are, the sensors will be fundamental. We use our drone space towers extensively for critical missions of various species.
Lastly, we are also experimenting with mini data centers at the base of our towers for data pre-processing and data optimization. " The PNRR, which also launched 5g , will see us play a leading role, with the aim of finally bringing digitalization to 99% of the population and making sure that everyone can take advantage of a technology that will improve everyone's life", highlighted Giovanni Ferigo.
Finally, "sustainability is one of our goals and Italy must become smarter", concluded the CEO of Inwit.
