Our targets

For us in CETIN Bulgaria, technology is the foundation of our existence and a source of great passion. We are excited to support the adoption of digital technology across every corner of the country. We design, build and operate high-quality networks and provide innovative solutions with no compromise in security. CETIN Bulgaria is committed to provide support for the technological development of the country by driving technological advancements, despite the challenges and at times limiting conditions, pushing the company to be highly adjustable to the surrounding environment.

Enable 5G coverage by 2026

Our goal is to make 5G connectivity available to at least 85 % of the population by 2026 across Bulgaria.

Resilient and reliable network

We aim to further improve network reliability and quality of the national critical infrastructures in the country always actively help national authorities in case of natural disaster. We will further strengthen the protection of customer data and increase the resilience of our networks to cyberattack and cyberfraud.

Progress highlights

Enable 5G coverage by 2026

By the end of 2024, 5G connectivity will be available to 80 % of the population.

Resilient and reliable network

In 2022, we implemented the first phase of a full-scope Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system and began continuous cybersecurity training for all external contractors to enhance awareness. In 2023, we established an internal Security Operation Centre (SOC), complete with comprehensive procedures for monitoring and incident response. In 2024, we further strengthened our security infrastructure by integrating an Extended Detection and Response (XDR) system. This addition has provided significant benefits, including enhanced threat detection across multiple endpoints, streamlined incident response processes, and better correlation of data from various sources for a more comprehensive view of potential security threats.

Managing traffic - electricity ratio

Managing traffic - electricity ratio – Almost 5 times improvement of the network’s energy efficiency on the last 5 years. At first glance, there seems to be no significant connection between watching TV series on streaming platforms and generating carbon emissions. The path by which video content reaches us, however, requires a significant amount of electricity - from the storage of base stations, the transfer of data between them and data centers, the transmission of signals to the device at home, etc. And the energy used has its own impact on the environment.
