STN’s Ljubljana Teleport Renews Tier 3 Certification In WTA’s Certification Program

April 11, 2022

“It differentiates the company from competitors in Europe and around the world.”

The World Teleport Association (WTA) renewed the Tier 3 certification of STN’s Ljubljana (Slovenia) Teleport under WTA’s Teleport Certification Program, following an audit of the facility by the association.

Since its introduction at IBC 2015, the Certification program has quickly grown in popularity. Starting with one certified facility in 2015, the program has added 40 in 3 years, and currently has 12 teleports engaged in the quality evaluation process. Certifications have been issued to teleports operated by Azercosmos, A1 Telekom Austria, Servicio Satelital, USEI, AXESS Networks, STN, Eutelsat, du, COMSAT, Optus, SMS Teleport, Talia, Telenor, Telespazio, Vivacom, Cyta, Singtel, Etisalat, Hawaii Pacific Teleport, Intelsat, IABG Teleport, Orange, Telstra, Primacom, Santander Teleport, Hellas Sat and Arqiva. The industry has quickly adopted the transparent, independently verified standards as a means for teleports to differentiate themselves and for customers to choose the price-performance level suitable for their applications.

To achieve Provisional Certification, a teleport operator completes a +170-item questionnaire and submits it to WTA. The Association analyzes the data based on standards established by its Certification Committee and issues the Provisional Certification based on the self-reported information. The teleport then has six months to achieve Full Certification. To achieve Full Certification under WTA’s program, an auditor is dispatched to visit the teleport, provide independent validation of the data submitted in the questionnaire, and identify additional factors that may positively or negatively affect the score. Full Certification is issued at a Tier number from 1 through 4, of which 4 represents the highest degree of excellence, and remains in effect for 3 years.

“By receiving our renewed Teleport Tier 3 certification of excellence from the WTA’s independent inspection program, STN ensures both clients and business partners of its ongoing dedication to maintaining high standards,” commented Mitja Lovsin, Managing Director.

“STN is a great example of a regional teleport operator that has committed to the technology, facilities and operations needed to deliver high quality of service,” said executive director Robert Bell. “It differentiates the company from competitors in Europe and around the world. STN was an early adopter of Teleport Certification and their renewal is a vote of confidence in the value of the program.” 

WTA’s Teleport Certification Program serves both teleport operators and their customers by creating an objective, transparent, and internationally accepted method for teleport operators to document the quality of their operations for customers and strategic partners. It also provides a means for customers to select teleport vendors delivering the price-performance level that is appropriate for their applications. Click here for a list of certified teleports.
