Rome as an internet hub
Notable operators with single facilities include Cloud Europe s.r.l., Fiber 23 S.R.L., and Noovle S.p.A., the cloud arm of Telecom Italia. Digital Realty and Aruba S.p.A. also maintain a presence. The primary exchange is Namex Rome, which connects 198 networks, alongside BGP.Exchange - Rome and MIX Roma.
Rome's connectivity is strong thanks to carrier-neutral exchanges and direct links to Southern Italy. Enterprises buy colocation and private cloud services here to reach government agencies, financial institutions, and the broader Mediterranean market. The mix of local specialists and global providers keeps competition healthy.
