Our client value proposition
State-of-the-art network
TAE provides a very high quality route between southern Italy and Turkey using latest quality G.652D fibre. Competing fibre in traversing countries is generally old and of poor quality.
Embedded reliability
By being installed on a gas pipeline, the route is well protected and expected to provide very high reliablity compared to competing networks.
Low-latency route
The gas pipeline is built in a very direct route (for economic reasons) and therefore offers an attractive low-latency route between Italy and Turkey.
