Asteo Conecta” Day at the XVII Aotec Fair

Smaller operators can also participate in the wholesale market

 

During the XVII Aotec Fair, Pedro Abad, CEO of Asteo Red Neutra, and Pere Antentas, CEO of Rede Aberta, presented the platform Rurix. A strategic and commercial alliance of fiber networks 100% focused on the rural world, which aims to facilitate local and rural operators to have access, through a single commercial agreement, to a network ecosystem that allows them not only to operate their own networks in wholesale mode, but also to expand their business strategy through the same model in other geographies.

Market context

Rurix arises as a response to the evolution and maturity of the fiber optic market. Spain is a leading country in the deployment and adoption of this technology worldwide. Therefore, it is a mature market and this implies dynamism, specialization and innovation, with a focus both geographically and in business models, thus promoting the consolidation and sophistication of the market.

What value does Rurix provide?

The Rurix platform provides significant value by offering an interconnection between fiber optic networks in rural areas, allowing local operators to participate in the wholesale market – without being obliged to have a high number of built-up UUIIs (real estate units) – and to expand their commercial strategy through unique commercial agreements. This means that Rurix not only facilitates access to a network ecosystem, but also optimizes the commercial and financial efforts of smaller networks, improving their profitability.

Rurix was created to address the need for integration and optimization in the rural fiber optic market, offering a solution that allows local operators to participate in the wholesale market and expand their commercial reach, all while maintaining network independence. This platform seeks to boost connectivity in rural areas, providing economic and strategic benefits to both operators and local communities.

What does Rurix mean?

The name Rurix reflects its essence and mission: The “R” represents its focus on the rural world, where it was born and develops, while the suffix “ix” symbolizes interconnection, which is the heart of the platform. Thus, Rurix stands for technologically and strategically connecting rural areas through a neutral platform of fiber optic networks.
