Cable&Wireless and Telecom Italia Sparkle have entered an enhanced partnership agreement to drive, expand and support business presence in key growth areas. The partnership enables Cable&Wireless to deliver network access into the
Mediterranean
Basin and gives Telecom Italia Sparkle the possibility to further improve its network capability into
Asia. The agreement will see Cable&Wireless provide network infrastructure and services to Telecom Italia Sparkle, as it meets the needs of its international customers moving business, manufacturing and operations to
Asia. Cable&Wireless enjoys a strong market reputation across Asia and was recently awarded International Long Distance and National Long Distance Licences, by the Indian Government, to establish and manage its own operations in
India. Reciprocally, Telecom Italia Sparkle's state of the art regional fibre optic network enables Cable&Wireless enterprise customers to access enhanced data voice and managed services such as IP-VPN for operations in MEA. Telecom Italia Sparkle's strong geographical positioning in the
Mediterranean
Basin has enabled it to build an extensive network throughout the region. This infrastructure is based on Telecom Italia Sparkle's own MedNautilus Network including exclusive regional bilateral and consortium cable systems, and is strengthened through its investment in the upcoming I-ME-WE (India, Middle East, Western Europe) cable system.
