Press Release
Sparkle, the first international service provider in Italy and among the top global operators, announces the expansion of its network in the United States with the opening of a Point of Presence (PoP) in San Diego, California. With this PoP, Sparkle adds a new strategic infrastructure alongside its existing nodes in McAllen, El Paso, Dallas (US) and Queretaro (Mexico), ensuring maximum diversification and redundancy for local customers.
Located at MDC’s carrier-neutral data center, the PoP is fully integrated with Sparkle’s Tier-1 global IP backbone Seabone which boasts extensive coverage in the Americas with 52 points of presence across Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Puerto Rico, United States and Venezuela. 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.
The new node allows network operators, ISPs, OTTs, content delivery networks, and content and application providers to benefit from reliable, low-latency IP transit services with throughput in the range of Terabits per second. Additionally, customers have access to a comprehensive suite of IP solutions, including DDoS Protection, which safeguards networks against cyberattacks, and Virtual NAP, providing virtual access to leading Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) without the need for proprietary infrastructure development.
