Digital infrastructure

The increasing digitalization of the economy, administration and private life requires a corresponding, high-performance infrastructure. Fast internet connections are an important prerequisite for progress and the future viability of the city. Mainz is therefore focusing on fiber optic lines, Wi-Fi hotspots and 5G mobile communications.

Laying fiber optics

Aktuelle Information

Die Firma Deutsche GigaNetz GmbH stellt ihren Ausbau bis auf weiteres zurück. Grund dafür ist, dass in der Vorvermarktung nicht die erforderliche Anzahl an Verträgen erreicht werden konnte. Für die Stadtteile Drais, Marienborn und Ebersheim, in denen die GigaNetz bisher als einzige Firma einen Ausbau geplant hat, sucht die Verwaltung aktuell eine Alternative.

Die Firmen Wesconnect GmbH und OXG Glasfaser GmbH haben sich darauf geeinigt, die Stadtteile Laubenheim und Weisenau untereinander aufzuteilen. Westconnect wird ausschließlich Laubenheim ausbauen und OXG dafür Weisenau. Hierdurch wird ein doppelter Ausbau vermieden. Kund:innen werden durch die Unternehmen selbst benachrichtigt.

Status quo fiber optic expansion in Mainz

When it comes to broadband expansion, fiber optics is the technology of the future. The Economic Development Agency collaborates with telecommunications companies operating in Mainz and supports their commercially driven expansion through cooperation agreements and joint declarations. For more information on the companies’ current expansion projects and the opportunities available to you, please visit their websites. Here is an overview of the expansion in Mainz:

Further information

Mainzer Breitband GmbH

Mainzer Breitband is a regional provider in Mainz and the surrounding area and a wholly owned subsidiary of Mainzer Stadtwerke AG. The company’s proprietary fiber-optic network already offers high connection density, particularly in industrial and mixed-use commercial zones. Additionally, the network is being expanded to meet the needs of business customers. The product portfolio includes internet and site networking with bandwidths of up to 100 Gbit/s, as well as Wi-Fi solutions and dark fiber connections. In addition to business customer products, Mainzer Breitband also offers residential customer products in certain areas, such as the Heiligkreuz district and the Hildegardis area.

Third-party provider

On this website, you will find the expansion projects of telecommunications companies that are carrying them out under their own names. However, the completed fiber-optic network can often be used later by other companies—that is, third-party providers—to offer you products and service plans (open access). It is therefore possible that you may be contacted by other companies, such as 1&1 Telecom GmbH, regarding fiber-optic expansion, even if your address does not appear in their coverage area according to the list above.

Construction and planning companies

Telecommunications companies do not lay the fiber-optic cables themselves; instead, they contract construction and engineering firms to do so. Construction sites within urban areas may therefore also be identified by the name of the respective construction company. Site visits to coordinate the installation on your property or within your building may also be conducted by construction or engineering firms on behalf of the telecommunications companies. The companies
currently being used are:

  • Telekom: Solutions30 GmbH
  • OXG:
    • Oberstadt & Mombach: HHR Glasfaser/Geodesia Süd
    • Bretzenheim & Lerchenberg: OEC
    • Weisenau & Hechtsheim: BraCom GmbH
  • Westconnect: Selecta FTTH
