network expansion
The expansion or improvement of infrastructure in the form of a network, for example for telecommunications, energy supply, or transport.
Der Netzausbau für schnelles Internet ist in ländlichen Gebieten besonders wichtig.
Network expansion for fast internet is especially important in rural areas.
'Netzausbau' (network expansion) is a compound noun made from 'das Netz' (network) and 'der Ausbau' (expansion). 'Ausbau' itself is derived from the separable verb 'ausbauen' (to expand/develop).
Die Regierung plant, das Schienennetz weiter auszubauen.
The government plans to further expand the rail network.
This word is frequently used with verbs such as 'vorantreiben' (to push forward), 'fördern' (to promote), or 'fordern' (to demand). You can also say 'in den Netzausbau investieren' (to invest in network expansion).
Die Opposition fordert einen schnelleren Netzausbau.
The opposition is demanding faster network expansion.
The term is mostly used for infrastructure. To specify which network is meant, German often uses a genitive or a compound word, e.g. 'der Ausbau des Stromnetzes' (the expansion of the power grid) or 'der Glasfasernetzausbau' (fiber-optic network expansion).
Der flächendeckende Glasfasernetzausbau ist ein wichtiges politisches Ziel.
Nationwide fiber-optic network expansion is an important political goal.
broadband expansion
Netzausbau is the broader term and can refer to expanding various infrastructure networks. Breitbandausbau specifically refers to expansion for fast internet connections. If the context is not already clear, Netzausbau therefore needs an indication of which network is meant; Breitbandausbau is already clearly related to high-speed internet.
Die Gemeinde fördert den Netzausbau für eine bessere Internetversorgung.
The municipality is supporting network expansion to improve internet access.
Die Gemeinde fördert den Breitbandausbau für schnellere Internetverbindungen.
The municipality is supporting broadband expansion to provide faster internet connections.
