Maltese fixed and mobile operator Melita says it has invested over EUR150 million (USD163 million) in recent years to improve its infrastructure to meet the continuous growth in demand for connectivity. In a press release, the firm said that in the past few months it has focused on improving the quality and capacity of its local and international fixed broadband infrastructure, deploying 100G-capable Cisco equipment in Malta and Italy.
Melita CEO Harald Roesch said that with internet usage always on the increase, it was of utmost importance to plan ahead to ensure the infrastructure could handle the increase in traffic. ‘As businesses grow and remote working is here to stay, we want to ensure we’re well prepared to accommodate a future increase in load,’ he said.
