Global network services provider RETN has introduced a new fiber optic route linking Milan and Padua, enhancing its national infrastructure and improving low-latency connectivity as part of its expansion strategy in Italy.
The newly launched 360-kilometer line integrates into RETN’s 140,000-kilometer global network and is designed for optimal performance. The Milan to Ponte San Pietro (Bergamo) segment is now the shortest and most efficient link on the market, benefiting latency-sensitive sectors like financial services.
The route is anchored by key Points of Presence at Milan’s Caldera Campus and Padua’s VSIX internet exchange, with an important transit through the Aruba Data Center in Ponte San Pietro. Aruba, a carrier-neutral provider, plays a crucial role in this expansion by offering a strategic hub for network development.
RETN designed the new line to meet the needs of businesses that view connectivity as a strategic asset. The infrastructure provides ultra-fast response times and increased reliability, catering to enterprises requiring greater bandwidth for advanced digital services and large-scale data operations.
Milko Ilari, Head of Southern Europe at RETN, highlighted the development’s significance. “This new route reaffirms our ongoing commitment to the Italian market and represents a concrete milestone toward interconnecting with RETN’s Eastern European network,” he said. “Connecting Milan and Padua through optimized infrastructure gives Italian businesses a real advantage in performance, scalability, and access to international markets.”
The move underscores RETN’s effort to strengthen Italy’s position as a digital bridge between Western and Eastern Europe.
