Solution Provider”
Rome, 18 June 2025
Sparkle, the first international service provider in Italy and among the top global operators, received the “Latam Regional
Connectivity Operator of the Year” and the “Best Security Solution Provider” prizes at the Carrier Community Global Awards
ceremony, held last night in Berlin within the Europe 2025 GCCM event to celebrate the achievements in wholesale telecoms
in the past year. At their nineth edition, the CC Global Awards recognize innovation, vision and excellence in the international
wholesale community and are judged by a panel of analysts and experts from the industry.
The “Latam Regional Connectivity Operator of the Year” award recognizes Sparkle for its significant investments in network
expansion and its excellence in delivering innovative, high-quality connectivity solutions that support the growth of digital
ecosystems across the region. With over a century of experience in Latin America, Sparkle is a leading global Tier-1 operator
in the region, offering state-of-the-art infrastructure and innovative solutions across the region.
With the “Best Security Solution Provider” prize, the jury awarded Sparkle for providing the best security solution to protect
telecom networks and data from cyber threats. With its Network as a Service (NaaS) security solution, first commercial offer
of this kind in the industry, Sparkle addresses in fact major protection challenges and lays the foundation for transformative
advances in the telco market.
This win follows and integrates last year’s “Best WAN Solution provider” prize which recognized Sparkle’s relevance in the
WAN market with its flexible, high-performance, and secure network solutions – including SD-WAN, SASE and Cloud Connect
- able to support the enterprises’ digital transformation.
“We are honored to be recognized as Latam Regional Connectivity Operator of the Year. Latin America is a key strategic market
for Sparkle, where our roots go back over a century to the first intercontinental cable between Buenos Aires and Italy. This award
confirms the value of our long-standing presence and our role as an enabler of reliable and future-proof connectivity solutions
across the region,” commented Enrico Bagnasco, CEO of Sparkle. “We are also proud to receive the Best Security Solution
Provider award, which highlights our commitment to innovation and network security.”
