PRESS RELEASE

RETELIT'S OPTICAL FIBRES FOR SNAM RETE GAS

The telecommunications operator won the tender put out by the Italian leader in the transport and dispatching of natural gas to guarantee a secure connection between the offices of San Donato Milanese and Ferrera Erbognone, in the province of Pavia.

It was e-via, a company wholly owned by Retelit SpA, that won the tender put out by Snam Rete Gas to guarantee the connection between the headquarters in San Donato Milanese and the operational offices in Ferrera Erbognone, in the province of Pavia. In particular, Retelit provided to the Italian gas giant a pair of dark fibres in IRU (Indefeasible Right of Use) mode, on which the telecommunication devices were activated. These make available the data circuits needed by the customer to provide its infrastructural services and applications.
The connection provided by Retelit was chosen to create a highly innovative and performing disaster recovery and business continuity service and is used as a second diversified stretch with respect to Snam Rete Gas's proprietary infrastructure.
"The contract signed with Snam Rete Gas confirms Retelit's role as infrastructural partner and is part of the strategy of interconnecting the main key points for telecommunications in Italy", explained Enrico Mondo, Retelit General Manager.
Besides supplying the optical fibre, the contract signed with Snam Rete Gas states that Retelit will make available technical assistance with coverage 24 hours a day for 365 days a year, so as to guarantee that the service is always available.

With the availability of over 7,600 kilometres of fibre optics, 8 Metropolitan Networks and 18 Data Centres, Retelit is one of the leading Italian providers of data transmission services and infrastructure for the telecommunications and ICT markets. Since 2013, thanks to important investments in new technologies, Retelit's product range has widened with new generation ultra-broadband VPN services, as well as Cloud Storage and Data Center services providing added value. Retelit has been listed on the electronic share market (MTA) of the Milan Stock Exchange since 2000.
