Renesys Aids Telecom Italia

ROME -- Renesys Corporation, a leading provider of next-generation Internet Routing and Market Intelligence solutions, today announced that its Market Intelligence Service has been chosen by Telecom Italia Sparkle, a worldwide leader in international telecommunications services, to benchmark the performance of Seabone (Telecom Italia Sparkle's IP global backbone) and explore IP transit, peering relationships, customer prospects and competitor strategies worldwide. As an early finding using Renesys Market Intelligence, Telecom Italia Sparkle has resulted as the largest IP carrier in terms of transit relationships in the Middle East and the Mediterranean Basin, among the fastest growing markets for telecommunications services.

Using Renesys Market Intelligence, Telecom Italia Sparkle was shown to provide more IP transit connections in the region than its main competitors.

"It is very beneficial to have the largest customer base in one of the fastest-growing Internet regions," said Arturo Danesi, Telecom Italia Sparkle VP Marketing, IP and Data Services for Telecom Italia Sparkle. "Our traction in the Middle East and the Mediterranean Basin is the key example of our vast growth across a number of strategic regions."

Telecom Italia Sparkle cited the depth and uniqueness of Market Intelligence as the driving forces in the Company's decision to select Renesys.

"Market Intelligence gives us an interesting competitive advantage in that it provides a level of information previously unachievable. It will also help us to further establish a leadership position in high growth markets such as Eastern Europe and Latin America," continued Mr. Danesi. "This is a very easy-to-use service, and it provides a degree of intelligence that would have been extremely inefficient to build and maintain internally."
