Virginie Géradin leads the Fiber Network Department at Proximus. She opens the block 'Practical challenges and solutions for fibre in Belgium' at the Fitce Fibre Congress. She reveals her approach to bringing fibre to everyone, especially in rural areas.

Challenges and solutions for fiber in Belgium: Connecting rural areas through fibre – some field projects
Virginie Géradin, Fiber Network Department Lead, Proximus

Two years ago she was in the audience. (Find her two quotes in 📺 the reportage!) This year we paid her a visit in the Proximus building near the Brussels North railway station.

"What is your mission?', I ask.

'We’re an engineering department. We want to offer fibre to everyone.' 

And she continues:

'I'm going to talk about fibre deployment in very rural areas. Two examples.

• I will show which specific techniques are needed.
• I will show that we need to reinvent ourselves, that we need new partnerships to make sure that everyone in Belgium gets access to the fibre.'

I ask her what she thinks of Fitce and the Congress.

'I think the Fitce Congress is a very good opportunity to know what is happening in the fibre world within Belgium, to meet other players, and as such, I think, this is the added value of Fitce to bring those people together.'

And she concludes with a message for you:

'Don't miss this!'
