PTCL expands its reach to Europe through Sparkle Sicily Hub

Presence in Sicily Hub will provide PTCL with enhanced connectivity to Europe and North Africa.

PTCL, the largest ICT services provider in the country has announced expanding its reach to Europe through Sparkle, its long-term partner in the region, leveraging Sparkle’s open ecosystem and rich marketplace at Sicily Hub in Palermo.

Sparkle is the international service arm of TIM Group and ranks among the top 10 global operators.

Through the Sicily Hub, PTCL will be able to peer with the world’s major content, media and CDN service providers already active in the Sicily Hub. This hub remains the closest European open ecosystem to the MENA Region. It provides improved latency and overall network efficiency to operators seeking to expand their presence in Europe. The increased quality will allow PTCL to effectively deliver on-demand as well as bandwidth-intensive content and provide its users with enhanced data experience.

With its ever-growing presence of multi-breed global players, the Sicily Hub continues to expand by attracting new content and interconnections, configuring itself as a rich marketplace where service providers, content and media players, and system integrators have an opportunity to grow their business.

PTCL’s presence in the Sicily Hub will also generate additional efficiencies for PTCL in terms of improved control over routeing and IP traffic flows. In addition, Palermo also presents a strategic presence for PTCL as it provides additional access to its SMW4 and IMEWE cable systems.
