Vivacom is the only Bulgarian company in the prestigious list for fourth year in a row
The World Teleport Association has ranked Vivacom, part of the United Group, among the top 10 fastest growing operators worldwide providing satellite services to business clients. The international ranking is based on satellite revenue growth for business clients. Vivacom is the only Bulgarian company in the prestigious list for fourth year in a row.
The outstanding achievement is the result of Vivacom's targeted investment strategy in high-quality services, technology and infrastructure, supported by United Group in the region. By 2026, the group's total investment in Bulgaria will reach BGN 4.8 billion.
"It is a huge recognition for us to be once again among top 10 fastest growing companies for satellite services and thus for the fourth consecutive year. This is proof that the constant investment in innovations and high quality services, as well as the unmatched expertise of our team on the Bulgarian and international market are the right formula for this continued success," said Victoriya Boklag, CEO of United Group.
Some of the biggest business clients of satellite services are: Disney, Eutelsat, Viacom, National Geographic Channel, Viasat, Endurosat, Leaf Space along with many other content providers, telecoms and satellite operators.
