To assure top-tier connectivity throughout Catalonia by means of secure, publicly-owned infrastructure

The smooth implementation of the comprehensive digitalisation of the public sector unavoidably entails benefitting from publicly-owned infrastructure enabling connectivity throughout Catalonia. This widespread connectivity calls for an ambitious plan to provide the public sector with suitable computational and data infrastructure to meet the challenge it faces, along with a communication network throughout Catalonia to allow for optimal connectivity. It is also necessary to be able to guarantee the cyber-security of this infrastructure, which would support the public cloud in which all government processes need to operate (particularly when it comes to strategic spheres such as security or health). In a few years, it will be possible to guarantee fibre connectivity throughout Catalonia and, thereafter, to capitalise on the features afforded by 5G, incorporating marine connectivity (which is vital for low latency services) and satellite connectivity.
