Arelion provides IP transit to Rome airports

Arelion provided high-performance, secure and low-latency IP Transit services to Rome's Fiumicino and Ciampino Airports, which are managed by Aeroporti di Roma (ADR). The deployment supported the technological requirements of the airports' employees and travelers.

The engagement supplied enterprise-grade connectivity with predictable Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and enabled both internal systems and passenger-facing applications to run on the same global network. The release described these services as supporting corporate, cloud and passenger-service applications across the airports' infrastructure footprint.

Arelion provided diverse access to its Rome network and its global Tier-1 IP backbone, delivering stable, redundant network connectivity intended to mitigate outage risk and strengthen operational continuity. NetOps tools at Aeroporti di Roma revealed a 10 percent decrease in latency, which the release cited as improving performance and continuity.

Work covered connections at Fiumicino and Ciampino and linked airport systems to Arelion's global backbone, which the release said served over 2,900 customers in nearly 130 countries. The release said Arelion connects more than 700 cloud, security and content providers and operates a private Cloud Connect service to Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, IBM Cloud and Oracle cloud across North America, Europe and Asia.

“Arelion provides Aeroporti di Roma with the scalable, AI-ready foundation essential to long-term reliability and innovation. Our secure connectivity services will help prevent costly downtime and service interruptions,” said Scott Nichols, Chief Commercial Officer at Arelion. “Arelion's reliable connectivity solutions are critical to supporting corporate, cloud and passenger-service applications across our complex infrastructure footprint,” said Mirko Gradillo, Network Architect and Wide Area Network (WAN) Manager at Aeroporti di Roma.

“The international passenger traffic profile, particularly towards America and Asia, aligns perfectly with Arelion's extensive global presence and robust network reach. This partnership enhances our ability to maintain secure, efficient digital operations, ensuring smooth travel experiences for millions of customers each year.” said Mirko Gradillo, Network Architect and WAN Manager at Aeroporti di Roma. “The improvements are already evident,” said Simone Pescetelli, NetOps Manager at Aeroporti di Roma. “Our network observability tools reveal a 10 percent decrease in latency, boosting performance, continuity and the quality perceived by both passengers and corporate users.”
