Sparkle has partnered with Unitirreno, a collaboration between Unidata and industry experts, to land its new subsea cable system at Sparkle’s Genoa Landing Platform. The Unitirreno Submarine Cable System will traverse the Tyrrhenian Sea from Genoa to Mazara del Vallo in Sicily, with future branches to Olbia, Rome, and other locations. This open cable system architecture boasts a capacity of 480 Tbps and spans approximately 1,030 km, with service expected by Q2 2025. Utilizing Sparkle's Genoa Landing Platform, Unitirreno will connect to the Genoa Digital Hub, facilitating interconnection with European terrestrial networks and Internet Exchange Points while minimizing environmental impact and administrative overhead.
