The project, a “digital channel” in Panama, began more than three years ago between Sparkle and the local operator Trans Ocean Network. As Carmine Sorrentino, president of Panama Digital Gateway and Executive VP for the Americas region of Sparkle, described, “We always think that geographically, due to the submarine cables that reach Panama and the corporations there, it is a hub. In addition, Panama has political stability; there are no complications for imports. With all this, it could be a Central American Gateway, where to place a “cloud” for all operators.”
