Arelion has begun delivering high-performance IP Transit services to Rome’s Fiumicino and Ciampino airports, strengthening network resilience across two of Italy’s busiest aviation hubs. The connectivity supports operational systems and passenger-facing applications under service-level agreements designed for predictable performance and low latency.
The services support airports operated by Aeroporti di Roma, providing diverse access into Arelion’s Rome metro network and its global Tier-1 IP backbone. The design introduces redundancy to mitigate outage risk while enabling internal enterprise workloads and digital passenger services to run on the same global network infrastructure.
According to Aeroporti di Roma, early performance data shows measurable improvements. Network observability tools indicate a reduction in latency following deployment, contributing to improved application performance and operational continuity across the airport environment, including international traffic flows toward North America and Asia.
