Retelit S.p.A.: Retelit Rome Data Center
About Retelit Rome Data Center
The Retelit Rome Data Center portfolio consists of several facilities in Rome operated by Retelit S.p.A., a leading Italian telecommunications and ICT infrastructure provider, focused on B2B services. These sites—including RMLET Roma at Via della Letteratura, 17, and other locations—serve as strategic hubs in central Italy, benefiting from Rome’s connectivity (both domestic and international), proximity to public sector clients, large businesses, telcos, media/OTT providers, and easy access to backbone fiber routes. Retelit’s network is highly interconnected, with presence in major Italian cities and integration into international backbones like the AAE-1 submarine cable.
