Telecom Italia subsidiary Sparkle and Unitirreno have signed an agreement to land the Unitirreno subsea cable at Sparkle’s Genoa landing station. Unitirreno is a partnership between Unidata, an Italian operator and ISP, the Infrastructure Fund for ESG Growth of Azimut Libera Impresa, and a team of senior telecom executives.

Unitirreno Submarine Cable System
The Unitirreno Submarine Cable System, set to go live by Q2 2025, will cross the Tyrrhenian Sea from Genoa to Mazara del Vallo (Sicily) with branches to Olbia (Sardinia), Rome, and more branches in the future. The cable, designed with an “open cable system” architecture and a total capacity of 480 Tbps, will span approximately 1,030 kilometres.

Sparkle’s Genoa Landing Station
Under the agreement, Unitirreno will use Sparkle’s Genoa landing station on the Western European coastline. The station interconnects with the Genoa Digital Hub, a neutral colocation facility with links to the Ge-DIX Internet Exchange, other submarine cables, and European terrestrial networks. The facility is already used by the BlueMed and BlueRaman systems, the official release said.

“This agreement further enriches the Ligurian digital ecosystem and confirms our Genoa Landing Platform as a reference alternative for more submarine cables seeking diversified entry into Europe,” said Sparkle.
