broadband expansion
The expansion of infrastructure for fast internet connections, especially through the laying of fiber-optic cables.
Die Bundesregierung fördert den Breitbandausbau in ländlichen Regionen mit mehreren Milliarden Euro.
The federal government is funding broadband expansion in rural regions with several billion euros.
This word is a compound made up of 'Breitband' (broadband) and 'Ausbau' (expansion). 'Breitband' stands for a fast internet connection, and 'Ausbau' (from the verb 'ausbauen' — to expand) means the expansion of infrastructure. So it is about expanding fast internet.
Der Breitbandausbau ist eine wichtige Voraussetzung für die Digitalisierung.
Broadband expansion is an important prerequisite for digitalization.
'Breitbandausbau' (broadband expansion) is a typical term from the fields of politics, business, and technology. You often read or hear it in the news or in official communications.
Die Gemeinde hat einen neuen Plan für den Breitbandausbau vorgestellt.
The municipality has presented a new plan for broadband expansion.
The word is often combined with verbs that describe a process or support. Typical formulations are 'den Breitbandausbau vorantreiben' (to push ahead broadband expansion), 'fördern' (to fund/support), or 'beschleunigen' (to accelerate).
Die Regierung will den Breitbandausbau in den nächsten Jahren stark vorantreiben.
The government wants to strongly push ahead broadband expansion in the coming years.
network expansion
'Netzausbau' and 'Breitbandausbau' both talk about expanding infrastructure. 'Netzausbau' is the more general term. It can refer to power grids, transport networks, mobile networks, or other networks. 'Breitbandausbau' is more specific and means the expansion of fast internet connections, often through fiber optics. The words can be confused especially in the context of internet and telecommunications, because both can occur there. If only fast internet is meant, 'Breitbandausbau' is more precise. If the network is not specified more exactly, or if power and transport may also be meant, 'Netzausbau' fits.
Viele Familien warten auf den Breitbandausbau, weil ihr Internet zu langsam ist.
