TIM Group's global operator Sparkle has announced the expansion of its network in Mexico with the opening of a new point of presence (PoP) in Querétaro, a city in the centre of the country.

Sparkle says the new PoP enhances Sparkle’s network in Latin America, further consolidating its position as one of the region’s top international operators.

Fully integrated with Sparkle’s Tier-1 global IP backbone Seabone – which boasts extensive coverage in Central and South America with 32 points of presence in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Panama, Puerto Rico, Peru, and Venezuela – the new node allows network operators, ISPs, OTTs, content delivery networks, and content and application providers to benefit from reliable, low-latency IP transit services with throughput of up to 8 Terabits per second.

Additionally, says Sparkle, customers have access to a comprehensive suite of IP solutions, including DDoS Protection, which safeguards networks against cyberattacks, and Virtual NAP, providing virtual access to leading internet exchange points (IXPs) without the need for proprietary infrastructure development.

With the launch of the new PoP in Querétaro – following the establishment of its subsidiary TI Sparkle Mexicana – Sparkle says it has strengthened its presence in Mexico, adding a new strategic infrastructure alongside its existing nodes in US cities McAllen, El Paso and Dallas.

This expansion, it adds, is designed to ensure maximum diversification and redundancy for local customers, addressing the growing demand for connectivity driven by new technologies, multimedia platforms and cloud services.

Although the Sparkle announcement doesn’t mention these facts, Querétaro is known for low susceptibility to earthquakes and is near to Mexico City. It has thus attracted data centre operators, although this data centre growth is [adding to pressure ](https://developingtelecoms.com/telecom-technology/energy-sustainability/17300-will-data-centre-boom-worsen-mexico-s-water-supply-problems.html)on local water supplies.
