Convergenze is a vertically integrated multi-utility operator located in Salerno, southern Italy. The company was founded in 2005, initially providing Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) services to help bridge the digital divide in the region.
Rather than focusing solely on expanding its geographic footprint, Convergenze chose to broaden its portfolio of products and technologies. Over the years, the company has added voice services, broadband connectivity (ADSL, ULL, and FTTH), mobile services as an MVNO, media and content offerings through ConvergenzeTV, data center services, and energy and gas services.
Today, Convergenze operates its own FTTH network covering 14 municipalities. In 2020, the company was listed on the Milan Stock Exchange. It currently generates €26 million in annual revenue and maintains an EBITDA margin of 16%.
The main challenge Convergenze’s customers face is finding a reliable partner they can trust to support them throughout their digital and environmental transformation journeys. Convergenze acts as a one-stop shop, helping customers navigate increasingly complex market conditions with a comprehensive portfolio of services and a strong commitment to their success.
Convergenze uses two types of services from Arelion: remote peering (IX Connect) and Layer 2 transport. The company currently has 20 Gbps of DE-CIX remote peering capacity, 10 Gbps at AMS-IX, 5 Gbps at France-IX, and a 1 Gbps Layer 2 connection between Rome and Hong Kong.
The purpose of these services is to extend Convergenze’s network reach from a national level to a global scale. As a result, the company has become one of the most interconnected networks in Italy and ranks among the top 20 most interconnected networks worldwide.
Arelion’s commercial team has always been proactive in identifying the right solutions from both a technical and commercial perspective. Combined with Arelion’s extensive global footprint and wide network of Points of Presence (PoPs), this has made Arelion a valuable and trusted partner.
Over more than six years of collaboration, Arelion has consistently managed every challenge in a highly professional manner, from simple fiber cuts to complex port migrations in Hong Kong involving multiple parties and organizations.
Convergenze has a highly flexible solution with Arelion that enables the company to scale its global reach efficiently. Through a redundant 2 x 100 Gbps interconnection in Rome, Convergenze can connect to the Internet exchanges it needs around the world.
This setup allows Convergenze to increase capacity at individual exchanges very quickly, which is critical for supporting its growth and meeting customer demand.
For all these reasons, Convergenze is confident in recommending Arelion as a trusted and reliable partner.
