Well served, the western Paris region is easily accessible. New developmental projects continue to improve mobility.
To address the needs of companies, industrial firms and the inhabitants,

Almost 70% of the Hauts-de-Seine is covered by the THD Seine infrastructure deployed underneath the roads.
100% of public schools equipped with fibre-optic cables are serviced by THD Seine.
With the linkage of public sites, buildings, primary and high schools, and departmental fire and rescue services, the network will reach over 800 km by end 2017. The Yvelines Numériques syndicate, created in 2016, manages and markets the network of companies, manages the project involving the general public network and handles relations with private operators. By 2020, the fibre-optic network for individuals will spread across 3,000 km.
