Driving force behind the current fiber optic network in Sallent
She was the director of UPC Manresa and a councilor at the Sallent City Council, it was as a councilor in Sallent when Rosa Argelaguet learned about the guifi·net project and when, with the support of volunteers, technicians, and our organization, she was one of the main and strong drivers of guifi·net in Sallent.
At the beginning of the guifi·net project in Sallent, she was interested in the wireless network deployments in Cabrianes, Cornet, and Sallent, and the work done in the municipality allowed successes in the objective that everyone could have access to the Internet. And, the improvement of the network in the municipality of Sallent led the municipality to facilitate the possibility of improving Internet access in other areas of Bages.
It was with her drive and commitment that the guifi·net Foundation put into operation in Cabrianes and Sallent the first fiber optic access point of guifi·net in Bages. This first fiber optic connection node in Cabrianes and Sallent was and is the spearhead of the current guifi·net fiber optic network deployed in several municipalities in the Bages region, an Open, Free, and Neutral telecommunications network used by thousands of people every day and where various telecommunications operators offer services.
Sharing projects, exchanging ideas and visions with Rosa has been a luxury because she was a person firm in her ideals and committed to the territory, people, and the guifi·net telecommunications network as well as for the improvement of Internet access for all people.
We miss you!
