Sparkle, the first international service provider in Italy and among the top global operators, received the “Best WAN Solution provider” prize at the Carrier Community Global Awards ceremony, held last night in Berlin within the Europe 2024 GCCM event to celebrate the achievements in wholesale telecoms in the past year. At their eight 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.
With the “Best WAN Solution provider” award, the jury 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.
Already celebrated by the global industry association MEF with the “SD-WAN Managed Service Provider of the Year – Region Europe” and the “Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) Managed Service Provider of the Year – Region Europe” prizes in October 2023, Sparkle stands as an end-to-end service provider, able to orchestrate any complexity and facilitate migration from traditional to Software-Defined WAN, while redesigning and optimizing the underlay and its security.
Commenting on the winning, Enrico Bagnasco, CEO of Sparkle, said: “We are very happy and proud for this award that recognizes Sparkle’s successful transition from a pure Wholesaler to a Global Service Provider. We have invested heavily in the evolution of our assets, both in terms of network capabilities and human resources, to provide our customers value added services in the whole service chain, from design, to implementation, operation, and assurance.”
