Zayo Europe opens Genoa fibre network landing, interconnection hub | Computer Weekly

"Zayo Europe has enlarged its Southern European network with a point of presence (PoP) in Genoa, Italy, strengthening its ability to connect emerging Mediterranean subsea traffic with an extensive terrestrial backbone."

"Putting the opening of the PoP at Quadrivium Digital's QGEN01 facility, the leading fibre infrastructure provider noted that Genoa was increasingly recognised as a strategic landing point for the next generation of subsea cable systems connecting Asia, Africa and the Middle East with Europe and beyond."

"By integrating Genoa into its network, Zayo said it would be extending its existing Italy footprint in Milan and Rome, creating a critical southern gateway into Europe and beyond and supporting the rapid emergence of new Mediterranean traffic corridors. It is also seen as giving customers greater optionality in how they access and route traffic into Europe's core hubs and onward international gateways."

"By delivering high-capacity connectivity from Genoa into key markets such as Frankfurt and Paris - as well as westward into strategic interconnection points across Iberia, including Barcelona and Lisbon - Zayo is confident it can provide a resilient alternative to traditional, often congested routes via Marseille. This will enable global enterprise, carrier, cloud and hyperscale customers to benefit from enhanced diversity, performance and reliability for increasingly complex traffic flows."
