Upgrade meets fast growing demand for hosting and online gaming servers in Malta combined with top quality international connectivity solutions
Rome, Italy / Valletta, Malta, October 24, 2017
Sparkle, the international services arm of TIM Group and among top 10 global wholesale operators, and GO plc, the market leading communications services provider in Malta, have upgraded the Italy-Malta bilateral cable and introduced 100GB transmission technology.
The upgrade is in response to the fast growing demand for hosting and online gaming servers in Malta, one of the main drivers of the strong increase in IP and Data business between GO and Sparkle.
The introduction of the state-of-the-art 100GB technology will in fact enhance the performance of GO’s IP proposition through highly sophisticated and reliable connectivity solutions.
The upgrade of Italy-Malta bilateral cable reinforces the strong partnership between Sparkle and GO as it provides a differentiated and highly reliable international route for Malta’s international traffic. The project is also part of GO’s recently announced €100 million investment in Malta’s communications infrastructure, designed to prepare the country for the future.
The partnership between GO and Sparkle will continue to develop in order to meet the needs of customers operating across the Mediterranean.
