SOLUTIONS 30, Europe's leading provider of solutions for new technologies today announced it has won a five-year €90 million contract for the roll-out of broadband internet infrastructure in France from one of the main infrastructure groups in Europe. The client is a major European telecommunications operator.
The scope and duration of this contract serves to highlight the spectacular increase in the number of connected devices: the European Union estimates an average of seven connected devices per person in 2015, five more than in 2013.
The French plan to roll out very high-speed broadband (Plan France Très Haut Débit - THD), which was updated last December, provides for full national coverage by 2022, with half of the country covered by 2017, for a total investment amount of €20 billion in 10 years by private operators and regional authorities.
Drawing on its stable partnerships with key accounts in the main markets in Europe, SOLUTIONS 30 will play its part in supporting the strong growth in demand for digital assistance through its portfolio of purpose-designed tools and processes space and a track record of 7 million service calls since the company was established.
Karim RACHEDI, Chief Operating Officer and member of the Executive Board of SOLUTIONS 30, said: "We are very proud to have been selected by our client for this ambitious development plan".
"This contract is one of the largest in our history," stressed Gianbeppi Fortis, Chairman of the Executive Board, "it reaffirms and strengthens our leadership position in Europe in the provision of assistance to users of new digital technologies".
