Italtel – a leading telecommunications company in Network Functions Virtualization, managed services and all-IP communication – today revealed its intentions in Iran, announcing it will concentrate on building up ultra-fast Internet wideband infrastructures so that essential services such as health and education can be improved. Iran is one of the fastest growing economies of the Middle East following the removal of the economic sanctions at the beginning of 2016. As a result, many international operators and technology vendors, including Italtel, are looking to take advantage of the growth and development opportunities. Speaking at the Iran Connect 2016 conference – which is taking place today and tomorrow at Tehran’s Espinas Palace Hotel – Italtel’s CEO Stefano Pileri said industries including health, transport and education would be the sectors which would reap the most benefit for operators and Iran citizens.

In response to a letter from UANI in April 2018, Italtel confirmed it has only signed an MOU with an Iranian company and does not see it moving any further.
