Italtel alongside Rai: management of ICT infrastructure for offices and major events
- Services are delivered by a specialized team operating 24/7 within Rai’s Network Operation Centers (NOCs), supporting the data and telephony infrastructure across the broadcaster’s national and international sites.
- The service also includes on-site management of temporary networks for major events such as the Sanremo Music Festival, sports events, and Rai special productions.
Milan, May 19, 2026 – ltaltel, a multinational Information & Communication Technology company, is expanding the scope of its collaboration with Rai, the exclusive concessionaire of Italy’s public radio, television, and multimedia broadcasting service, to include management and maintenance services for data and telephony infrastructure. Italtel carries out these activities as the lead company of a temporary consortium (RTI), coordinating highly qualified and certified personnel from both its own organization and partner companies.
The team operates within Rai’s Network Operation Centers (NOCs) in Turin and Rome. The NOCs monitor and manage the infrastructure to ensure the operational continuity and full efficiency of the technological components underpinning Rai’s data transmission and telephony services network in Italy and abroad.
The scope of the services also extends to events, major productions, and special broadcasts that require the implementation of temporary and dedicated network infrastructures for the sites selected for each initiative. One example is the Ariston Theatre during the 76th Sanremo Music Festival, for which a dedicated infrastructure was deployed to support operational and production requirements.
In a company such as Rai, network infrastructure is a strategic asset for business development, the distribution of editorial content, and the enhancement of corporate information assets. Its continuous availability must be ensured at all times in order to provide a high-quality, reliable, and innovative service.
“
“Standing alongside Rai also in managed services, in addition to the engineering services we have been providing for many years, further strengthens a long-standing collaboration. The synergy between the engineering teams and the operations teams enables us to support Rai even more comprehensively, making a concrete contribution to the continuity and excellence of a service that a major organization such as Rai — Italy’s leading television broadcaster and one of Europe’s largest media companies — must always guarantee at the highest standards.”
commented Giovanni Salerno, General Manager Italy at Italtel.
