Châteauroux, Châteaudun, Issoudun and Vendôme: ielo continues its expansion across Centre-Val de Loire

A Regional Network That Continues to Grow

The development of infrastructure networks is driven by a simple conviction: the digital performance of a region depends on the availability of reliable, scalable, and easily accessible fibre networks close to where they are needed.

In Centre-Val de Loire, ielo is continuing this momentum with the launch of four new coverage areas: Châteaudun, Châteauroux, Issoudun, and Vendôme.

These new locations complement ielo’s existing presence across several of the region’s key economic centres, including Orléans, Tours, Blois, Bourges, Chartres, Dreux, Vierzon, Nemours, and Saint-Amand-Montrond.

This gradual network densification extends access to the national ielo network and provides local businesses and organisations with new connectivity solutions tailored to professional requirements.

Proven Expertise Supporting Strategic Regional Infrastructure

ielo’s expansion across Centre-Val de Loire is built on a deep understanding of the region’s connectivity challenges and expertise already demonstrated through the delivery of high-capacity infrastructure projects.

One such example is ReCOR, the secure optical infrastructure developed by GIP RECIA, to which ielo contributed alongside its operator partner adista.

By bringing its expertise in Wave technologies, ielo helped build a high-capacity regional backbone connecting key organisations across the region, including public secondary schools, regional universities, INSA Centre-Val de Loire, regional INRAE sites, as well as a regional data centre featuring dual connectivity to the RENATER network.

This project highlights ielo’s ability to support the deployment of critical infrastructure designed to meet the highest requirements for performance, availability, and digital sovereignty.

Fibre Infrastructure Designed for Operators and Their Enterprise Customers

As digital usage continues to evolve, organisations face growing connectivity requirements: increasing volumes of data exchange, multi-site interconnection, cloud migration, enhanced security, and greater resilience.

To address these challenges, businesses, operators, data centres, and public sector organisations need infrastructure capable of delivering performance, availability, and scalability.

With this latest expansion across Centre-Val de Loire, ielo provides access to a comprehensive portfolio of operator-grade solutions:

• FTTO, delivering dedicated optical local loop fibre access designed for business-critical connectivity.
• Dark Fibre, for organisations seeking full control over their own infrastructure.
• Wave services, providing ultra-high-capacity optical transport.
• Lan-to-Lan, enabling secure interconnection between multiple sites.
• IP Transit, offering high-performance connectivity to the Internet.

A National Network Built Close to Local Communities

The opening of Châteaudun, Châteauroux, Issoudun, and Vendôme is part of ielo’s broader strategy to continue densifying its national network.

Every newly connected city strengthens the network footprint and expands the range of connectivity options available to businesses, operators, data centres, and local authorities.

This approach reflects a clear ambition: to build an open, robust, and sustainable infrastructure capable of supporting the evolving digital needs of organisations across the country.
