18. Sinu logo In the Estonian Information Society Strategy 2013 one of the core actions is “4.1.1.Expanding Technical Possibilities for Access to Digital Information” - implemented as EstWin project The national BB development plan sets as its objectives: 100% of homes, businesses and institutions have the opportunity to join the new generation broadband network and use an Internet connection with a data transfer rate of at least 100 Mbit/s. A fibre optic base network has been completed so that 98% of households, businesses and institutions are located within 1.5 km of the nearest point of connection to the base network. The deadline for the realization of the aims is the year 2015

19. Sinu logo The realization has been divided into 2 phases. According to the initial plan, about 6000 km of transmission connections and about 1400 network connection locations will have to be built. I phase: 2010 of 2011 – 2000 km of transmission connections will be built. Indicative sum is 25 million EUR. II phase: 2012-2015 – 4000 km of transmission connections will be built. Indicative sum is 45 million EUR.

21. Sinu logo EstWin network is a physical fiber network; The owner of this network does not install any data communication equipment into this network. The owner of EstWin network will rent fibers of the fiber network on equal terms to all operators. There will be established facilities to the final terminals of EstWin network for operators to connect to the network. For that purpose there will be equipment lockers or containers with power supply at the final terminals of network. All operators renting the fibers can also rent an equipment space and install their equipment to these final terminals of network.
