With this first PoP in the capital and fifteenth in the country, Sparkle further improves connectivity within Brazil and across the Americas
Rome/Brasilia, 21 January 2025
Sparkle, the first international service provider in Italy and among the top global operators, opens a new Point of Presence (PoP) in Brasilia to support the growing demand for international connectivity in Brazil. First in Brasilia and fifteenth in the country, the new PoP expands Sparkle’s network capillarity in Brazil – featuring presence also in Fortaleza, Porto Alegre, Rio De Janeiro, Salvador, and São Paulo, – while consolidating its positioning as a leading global Tier-1 backbone in Latam and one of the main providers in the Americas.
Located at ELEA BSB2 data center, the PoP is fully integrated with Sparkle’s global Tier-1 IP backbone Seabone that boasts extensive coverage in Central and South America with 18 points of presence across Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Panama, Peru, and Puerto Rico. In addition, thanks to its terrestrial and submarine networks which includes four “digital highways” – Curie in the Pacific and Monet, Seabras-1 and soon Manta in the Atlantic -, Sparkle offers five diversified routes for connectivity from South to North America ensuring complete redundancy and a top-quality data experience.
Integrated with Sparkle’s Tier-1 global backbone Seabone – the sixth largest IP network worldwide – the new node will enable network operators, ISPs, OTTs, content delivery networks, and content and application providers to benefit from reliable, low-latency IP transit services in scalable multiples of 10 GB, 100 GB, and 400 GB. Additionally, customers have access to a comprehensive suite of IP solutions, including DDoS Protection services, which safeguard networks against cyberattacks, and Virtual NAP, providing virtual access to leading Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) without the need for proprietary infrastructure development.
