Sparkle, the first international service provider in Italy and among the top global operators, announces the opening of a new Point of Presence (PoP) in Helsinki, Finland, to expand its footprint and guarantee further redundancy and diversification of international connectivity for the Northern European market.

Located at Digita Data Center, a state-of-the-art and fast-growing internet hub, the new PoP in Helsinki follows in the region the one in Stockholm and will address the strong demand for IP Transit services from the Nordic and Baltic countries with a 400GBE-enabled router. 

Besides increasing the company’s presence in Northern Europe, the new node is fully integrated with Sparkle’s Tier 1 global IP backbone Seabone and 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.

With 89 PoPs in Europe and a comprehensive portfolio of ICT and telco services - including SD-WAN, colocation, IoT connectivity, messaging, roaming and voice solutions -, Sparkle confirms its role as a leading enabler of digital transformation across the continent, from the Baltic to the Mediterranean and beyond.
