Genoa, Italy – 18 May 2026 – Zayo Europe, a leading fibre infrastructure provider, today announced the expansion of its Southern European network with a new Point of Presence (PoP) in Genoa, Italy. The PoP, located in Quadrivium Digital’s QGEN01 facility, strengthens Zayo Europe’s ability to connect emerging Mediterranean subsea traffic with its extensive terrestrial backbone.
Genoa is increasingly recognised as a strategic landing point for the next generation of subsea cable systems connecting Asia, Africa and the Middle East with Europe and beyond. By integrating Genoa into its network, Zayo Europe extends its existing Italy footprint in Milan and Rome, creating a critical southern gateway into Europe and beyond.
The expansion is designed to support the rapid emergence of new Mediterranean traffic corridors, while giving customers greater optionality in how they access and route traffic into Europe’s core hubs and onward international gateways. By delivering high-capacity connectivity from Genoa into key markets such as Frankfurt and Paris – as well as westward into strategic interconnection points across Iberia, including Barcelona and Lisbon – Zayo Europe provides a resilient alternative to traditional, often congested routes via Marseille. This enables global enterprise, carrier, cloud, and hyperscale customers to benefit from enhanced diversity, performance, and reliability for increasingly complex traffic flows.
For Quadrivium Digital, the addition of a Tier 1 international carrier brings direct access to Zayo Europe’s network and more than 600 on-net data centres across Europe to customers within the QGEN01 facility.
“This partnership positions QGEN01 as a key interconnection hub in the Mediterranean ecosystem,” said Aditya Ayyagari, CEO of Quadrivium Digital. “By combining direct access to new subsea systems with Zayo Europe’s diverse terrestrial routes, we are enabling customers to efficiently reach key traffic hubs like Barcelona and Lisbon as well as the U.S. while achieving greater route diversity and lower latency across global networks.”
Colman Deegan, CEO of Zayo Europe, said: “The digital map of Europe is evolving and our expansion into Genoa is a direct response to our customers’ need for greater resilience and choice. By connecting this important Mediterranean landing point to our 400G-enabled backbone, we are creating a seamless bridge between subsea systems and our terrestrial infrastructure. Ultimately, this ensures our customers have access to the scalable, high-capacity connectivity required to support the next wave of cloud and AI-driven growth.”
