After five years, the fiber-optic network at Living Lab Scheveningen has been completed. The connection beneath the newly renovated Middenboulevard forms the final link in a smart, digital backbone that stretches from the Zwarte Pad to the Southern Harbour Head. Middenboulevard vormt het sluitstuk van een slimme, digitale ruggengraat die zich uitstrekt van het Zwarte Pad tot het Zuidelijk Havenhoofd.
The installation was carried out in conjunction with public space redevelopment. By coordinating efforts at the right time, the project combined multiple works efficiently. This resulted in less excavation, reduced disruption, and lower costs. Living Lab Scheveningen serves as a testing ground for smart coastal technologies. The use of a multiduct system allows for easy expansion of the network and the connection of new applications without the need for further digging. This creates a flexible network that can adapt to the evolving needs of the city. en lagere kosten. Living Lab Scheveningen dient als proeftuin voor slimme technologie aan de kust. Het toegepaste multiduct-systeem maakt het mogelijk het netwerk eenvoudig uit te breiden en nieuwe toepassingen aan te sluiten zonder opnieuw te graven. Dit zorgt voor een flexibel netwerk dat meebeweegt met de behoeften van de stad.
