RETN enhances northern Italy reach with Milan to Padua fiber route
RETN continues to enhance its network, and its new fiber route between Milan and Padua is another reflection of the competitive carrier’s ongoing national expansion strategy, delivering high-speed and low-latency connectivity.
Spanning 360 km and incorporating RETN’s 140,000 km global network, the new route takes a highly optimized path and introduces a key improvement. Since the segment from Milan to Ponte San Pietro (Bergamo) is a short connection, RETN can address latency-sensitive sectors, such as finance and banking.
By leveraging Points of Presence at Milan’s Caldera Campus and the Padua VSIX, and transiting through the Aruba Data Center in Ponte San Pietro, the route ensures enhanced performance and network efficiency along this strategic axis between Milan and Padua.
As a carrier-neutral provider, Aruba supports the route by providing a strategic location for RETN’s network deployment.
Besides providing guarantees for ultra-fast response times and high stability, RETN aims to provide companies with greater bandwidth capacity to meet their hyperscaling needs and support increasingly complex digital business models.
Milko Ilari, Head of Southern Europe at RETN, said that this route furthers its reach into the Italian market while interconnecting with its Eastern European network. “Milan and Padua are two strategic hubs for national data traffic: connecting them through an optimized infrastructure offers Italian businesses a tangible advantage in terms of performance, scalability, and global market access,” he said.
RETN continues to be aggressive with its network builds across Europe.
Earlier this year, the RETN, an independent global network provider, completed the deployment of Juniper’s 400GbE coherent pluggable optics across its entire Pan-Eurasian IP network, reflecting the growing momentum around IP-over-DWDM (IPoDWDM).
