Global Cloud Xchange and Sparkle add new spectrum capacity over the FA-1 transatlantic system

Global Cloud Xchange, the leading provider of global managed next-generation networks, and Sparkle, the first international service provider in Italy and among the top ten global operators, announced the extension of their partnership by adding new spectrum capacity over the Flag Atlantic (FA-1) transatlantic system connecting Paris and London to New York.

Under the agreement, GCX will provide additional terabyte of capacity on the current transatlantic connectivity, thus enabling Sparkle to offer even faster and more reliable City2City connectivity and Seabone IP Transit services over one of the world’s most growing corridors.

“By partnering with GCX we significantly enhanced our connectivity offer between Europe and the Americas,” said Daniele Mancuso, Chief Marketing Solutions & Business Development Officer at Sparkle. “GCX’s network gives us unparalleled access to secure and stable bandwidth.”

“We are thrilled to extend our strong partnership with Sparkle,” said Rory Cole, CEO of GCX.

“We remain fully committed to ensuring our customers and partners have access to an agile, resilient, and expansive network. We are looking forward to continuing our partnership with Sparkle as their trusted bandwidth provider, enabling them to provide worldwide connectivity seamlessly and efficiently to their customers.”

The latest partnership renewal between GCX and Sparkle builds upon a long-standing relationship between the two companies. GCX’s expansive global network facilitates digital transformation with bandwidth services available to enterprises, OTTs, content providers, and telecom carriers up to 100Gbps.
