Sparkle and Orchest Technologies Announce Strategic Network Interconnection to Accelerate NaaS Automation

The partnership will allow seamless end-to-end service provisioning across Latin America, the Caribbean, and Europe

ROME and WASHINGTON, May 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sparkle, the first international service provider in Italy and among the top global operators, has entered into a strategic agreement with Orchest Technologies, a leading LATAM connectivity and automation provider, to enhance mutual network coverage and streamline service orchestration, accelerating the adoption of Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) solutions..

Under the agreement, presented in Washington during International Telecoms Week (ITW), Sparkle and Orchest will interconnect their networks in an automated and dynamic way, enabling seamless end-to-end service provisioning across Latin America, the Caribbean, and Europe through global optical and IP backbones.
