The World Teleport Association (WTA) has published its annual rankings for the Top Teleport Operators of 2022. The annual rankings of companies by revenue and revenue growth are compiled by surveying teleport operators around the world as well as referencing the published results of publicly-held companies.

“The past years have been a time of tremendous change in technology, assets on orbit and market needs, together with the continued impact of the pandemic and the Ukraine war,” said executive director Robert Bell. “Agility and the intelligent management of opportunities and risks have become key competitive advantages. Our Top Operators have excelled at all three.”
