The ranking, part of The Fast Twenty list compiled by the WTA, ranks all teleport-operating companies based on year-over-year revenue growth in their most recent fiscal years. NewCom, which specializes in communications services for Africa, Latin America, Central America and The Caribbean, experienced a 45 percent growth rate — despite a rocky economy and fast-changing landscape in the telecommunications industry.
"We are honored to be recognized for this achievement — particularly in light of the global recession that has gripped the economy for the past two years," notes NewCom International President Jaime Dickinson, who was named WTA's 2010 Teleport Executive of the Year. "Our success starts with a dedicated team and great customers. It can also be attributed to diversification: diversification of our footprint coverage, diversification of our products, and diversification of our technologies. We are focusing on services that cover a mass volume of users and we are ensuring that we work with a broad range of clients."
Rather than providing one-off services to the governments, military institutions, GSM operators and private-sector businesses it serves, NewCom bundles voice, video and data solutions into customized packages targeted to vertical markets in developing regions around the globe. NewCom's turnkey bundled packages include a variety of value-added services such as its VideoMeetings solution that facilitates telemedicine projects and virtual college classrooms, and its IPTV services that bring news, entertainment and sports to content-hungry subscribers in developing countries. And at the core of NewCom's business strategy is its commitment to quality service.
"For us, it has always been about servicing our clients in the best way possible and providing excellent quality," says Dickinson. "It's the personal relationships we develop and 24/7 support we provide that keeps our customers with us and ensures we continue to grow and succeed in today's competitive environment."
