The Spain market
Madrid has become one of Europe's fastest-growing colocation markets, with Marseille–Madrid fibre routes and new subsea landings pulling capacity south. Spanish-language site crews are the norm outside hyperscale campuses.
We mobilise from Madrid and Barcelona with a target of 6 hours to site. Madrid and Barcelona hubs give six-hour mobilisation on the peninsula. Balearic and Canary Islands work is scheduled, not on-call.

How we deliver network connection here
Interconnection work in Spain is usually cross-connects, meet-me rooms and carrier hand-offs, where the failure mode is not a bad link but a wrong demarcation. We confirm the demarc, the media type and the carrier's own requirements before cutting anything.
- Cross-connect routes confirmed against the facility's meet-me-room records before the cable is pulled
- Media and connector type verified end to end — single-mode vs multimode, and polish type — before the hand-off
- Carrier demarcation documented and photographed so responsibility is unambiguous
- Labelling to the facility's administration scheme, not a private convention
- Link tested and the result attached to the cross-connect record, so a fault later is quick to isolate
Standards and compliance in Spain
Work is signed off against the standards that actually apply here, not the ones our engineers are most familiar with. In Spain that means UNE-EN 50173 and UNE-EN 50174 as the primary reference, with iec 61935-1 certification as the test regime.
Site safety runs under RD 1215/1997 and RD 614/2001. We supply certificates before mobilisation rather than on request.
Standards applied on site
- UNE-EN 50173 and UNE-EN 50174 for cabling
- UNE-EN 50600 for facility design and operations
- REBT (Reglamento Electrotécnico para Baja Tensión) for electrical installation
- EU GDPR through the LOPDGDD, supervised by the AEPD
- ENS (Esquema Nacional de Seguridad) for public-sector tenants
- NIS2 through the Spanish implementation
Site access and safety
CAE documentation (coordinación de actividades empresariales) is routinely required before contractors enter Spanish sites. Allow time for the exchange.
- RD 1215/1997 and RD 614/2001 for equipment use and electrical risk
- Coordinación de actividades empresariales documentation before site entry

Local questions
Working in Spain
Do you handle CAE documentation?
Yes. We supply the coordination paperwork Spanish operators require before site entry, including risk assessment, training records and insurance certificates.
Can you cover the Balearic or Canary Islands?
Yes, as scheduled mobilisation from Madrid with travel planned in. We quote these as planned projects rather than emergency response, and we say so up front.
Is on-site work done in Spanish?
Yes. Outside the large hyperscale campuses in Madrid, Spanish is the working language, and our engineers brief site staff in Spanish.
