With Olivenet as the first and anchor investment of the platform, Asterion is uniquely positioned to create a sizable and leading player in the Spanish rural fibre space, complementing its existing footprint with a unique opportunity to achieve more than 1.5m Homes Passed and close to 6,000 km of fibre network.
