The Government of Navarra has a backbone fiber network comprising more than 1,000 km of fiber optic infrastructure, deployed along the main communication corridors (roads, dual carriageways, and motorways) that structure the Chartered Community of Navarra, connecting towns and major telecommunications hubs.
This high-capacity backbone fiber infrastructure supports, on a self-provision basis, not only the sites of the Government of Navarra’s corporate voice and data network but also other services of strategic interest, such as television broadcasting, emergency communications, and road tunnel communications.
The fiber optic deployment is underground, using ducts installed within existing or newly built conduits, and entirely occupies public domain land across the whole network.
Along the route, there is a set of branch lines extending from the main conduit to termination points in towns, Government of Navarra telecommunications centers, or nearby industrial parks.
The deployed fiber optic cables have been designed to meet future high-capacity requirements over long distances, with low attenuation and dispersion characteristics. For this reason, two types of single-mode fiber are used, in accordance with ITU-T G.652.D and ITU-T G.655.C recommendations. The types of cables used in the network are described below:
- 256-fiber optic cable, with a loose-tube structure composed of 16 tubes containing 16 fibers each, totaling 224 fibers compliant with G.652.D and 32 fibers compliant with G.655.C. Used in backbone sections.
- 128-fiber optic cable, with a loose-tube structure composed of 16 tubes containing 8 fibers each, totaling 112 fibers compliant with G.652.D and 16 fibers compliant with G.655.C. Used in backbone sections.
- 64- or 72-fiber optic cable, with a loose-tube structure composed of tubes containing 8 or 12 fibers each, compliant with G.652.D. Used in branch sections to towns and industrial parks.
NASERTIC is responsible for the management, operation, and maintenance of this network, as well as making its surplus capacity available to third parties. To this end, it carries out all activities related to documentation and asset inventory, monitoring and supervision, request and incident management, administration and management of physical and logical resources, preventive, corrective, and proactive maintenance, as well as all configuration and upgrade tasks, capacity and availability management, including the preparation of proposals for network evolution and improvement.

- Telecommunication Operators.
Given the interest expressed by several telecommunication operators, and following an analysis of the network’s occupancy status and future needs for the self‑provisioning services for which it was created, the Government of Navarre and Nasertic identified surplus capacity in certain sections of the network and the possibility of making this surplus available to telecommunication operators in the wholesale market.
This initiative aims to facilitate the deployment of next‑generation networks throughout the territory of the Chartered Community of Navarre, ensuring they reach all citizens, public administrations and businesses regardless of their geographic location. It contributes to territorial cohesion and to preventing the digital divide by enabling the sharing of this infrastructure with private telecommunication operators, while respecting obligations of neutrality, transparency and non‑discrimination.
