RETN Deploys New High-Performance Route Between Milan and Padua

Milan, July 2, 2025 – RETN, the leading independent global network services provider, announces the launch of a new fiber optic route between Milan and Padua, as part of its national expansion strategy and to deliver increasingly high-performance low-latency connectivity.

The new route, spanning 360 km and adding to RETN’s 140,000 km global network, takes a highly optimised path and introduces a key improvement: the segment from Milan to Ponte San Pietro (Bergamo) is the shortest and most efficient connection available on the market, bringing significant benefits, particularly for latency-sensitive sectors like finance.

By leveraging Points of Presence at Milan’s Caldera Campus and the Padua VSIX, and transiting through the Aruba Data Center in Ponte San Pietro, the route ensures enhanced performance and network efficiency along this strategic axis between Milan and Padua.

As a carrier neutral provider, Aruba supports the route by providing a strategic location for RETN’s network deployment.

Designed to serve organisations that consider connectivity a strategic asset, the new route guarantees ultra-fast response times and high stability. Furthermore, RETN aims to provide companies with greater bandwidth capacity to meet their hyperscaling needs and support increasingly complex digital business models.

“This new route reaffirms our ongoing commitment to the Italian market and represents a concrete milestone toward interconnecting with RETN’s Eastern European network, delivering increasingly widespread and integrated connectivity on a Eurasian scale,” said Milko Ilari, Head of Southern Europe at RETN. “Milan and Padua are two strategic hubs for national data traffic: connecting them through an optimised infrastructure offers Italian businesses a tangible advantage in terms of performance, scalability, and global market access.”
