Vivacom benefits from United Group investment

February 11, 2022 10.11 Europe/London By Chris Dziadul

United Group has announced that the World Teleport Association (WTA) has ranked its Bulgarian operator Vivacom among the 10 fastest growing companies globally based on satellite revenue growth.

According to United Group, this growth has been driven in part by significant investment that Vivacom, with the group’s support, has made in the development of its Plana earth station as well as the excellence of the service the Vivacom’s team of professionals provides.

Vivacom’s satellite business provides high quality and reliable services in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America. The company broadcasts more than 400 TV channels for transmission to various operators and end customers and also provides VSAT data lines to corporate clients on several continents, including – for example – Antarctica for Bulgarian scientists on Livingston Island.

Commenting on the development, Vivacom director of broadcasting services Vladimir Rangelov said:
“Being ranked again in the top 10 fastest growing operators demonstrates our ongoing commitment to delivering out satellite the very best services available”.

United Group notes that in August 2021 Vivacom was awarded full Tier 4 certification for Plana Teleport by the WTA, making it one of only 19 teleports around the word to hold the certification.

Tier 4 is the highest possible certification in the field of teleport services and ranks the satellite station among the most modern facilities of its type in the world. It means that Plana Earth station covers the standards for top location, backed up technical equipment and professional 24/7 support, both with technical and commercial experts.
