Located at Orange Maroc open data centre, Sparkle’s PoP will provide corporate communication services to multinational enterprises aiming to expand their business in Morocco.
Specifically, Sparkle will deliver Italian and European multinationals, Ethernet and virtual private IP-VPN networks to connect their headquarters with their branches in Morocco and thus enable intracompany communication.

In June 2019, Sparkle launched its PoP in Aqaba, Jordan, in collaboration with Naitel, a Jordan-based operator with proprietary data centres and a nationwide network.
