FIBER OPTIC, MANs, DUCTS

Our network extends over 43,000 km throughout Italy, covering major cities, industrial zones and key hubs. It also reaches beyond national borders to major cities in Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the United States.

Our backbone extends across the Mediterranean, with landing stations from Genoa to Bari, including Barcelona and Marseille. The Italian landing point for the AAE-1 cable owned by Retelit is located in Bari, a vital node for data traffic between Asia and the Middle East. This allows us to offer high-speed, low-latency connections to carriers and OTT providers worldwide.

AAE-1 cable

Spanning 25,000 kilometres, the AAE-1 cable connects East Asia, Africa and Europe, boasting a capacity of 40 Terabits per second and 100 Gbps technology. It is the world’s fastest cable system and the first to offer the lowest level of point-to-point latency through an “express route” between Egypt and Thailand.

This infrastructure enables us to meet the growing demand for data, connectivity and transport from Asia, the Middle East and the Gulf countries, including Myanmar, Pakistan, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and Yemen. We deliver high-speed, low-latency connections to operators, carriers and OTT providers, using diverse and alternative routes to ensure greater flexibility and reliability in data transmission.
