What Delta Telecom does

Delta Telecom (legal entity Delta Telekom LTD) is a privately held national telecommunications and IT infrastructure operator founded in 2000 and headquartered in Baku, Azerbaijan. The company operates Azerbaijan's first and largest internet backbone and a Tier III certified data center, serving government agencies, banks, information agencies, domestic and foreign internet service providers, private enterprises, and rural/remote communities across the Caucasus region. Its network reaches all regions of Azerbaijan and interconnects with neighboring markets including Georgia, Russia, Iran, Iraq, and European points of presence, with equipment hosted in European data centers to enable international connectivity.

The technology base spans IP/MPLS and SD-WAN corporate data networks (1/10/100 Gbit/s with encrypted transmission), a DWDM/SDH transmission backbone scaled to 8.8 Tbit/s using Nokia and Huawei equipment (80/88/96 wavelengths per optical pair, 100/200/400 Gbit/s channels), an internet backbone exceeding 1 terabit/s of total throughput, and the Jupiter central satellite communication system (commissioned 2018) that uses Azerspace satellites via a partnership with Azercosmos to reach 500+ VSAT points in areas without landlines. Peering and transit relationships with operators and exchanges such as TeliaSonera, Cogent, NTT, Rostelecom, Turk Telekom, DE-CIX and AMS-IX, plus content operators Google and Facebook, anchor its international traffic exchange role.

Delta Telecom monetizes through recurring subscription revenue across a broad service portfolio: data center services (co-location, hosting, VPS, backup/recovery), international internet and MPLS/IP services, DWDM/SDH transmission, VSAT satellite connectivity, telephony (SIP, SIP Trunk, ISDN PRI), D-IPTV (175 channels), and cybersecurity (DDoS protection, NG Firewall, MDR, security audit). Go-to-market is dual-motion: direct enterprise field sales with dedicated account management and 24/7 support for government, banking and ISP customers, alongside self-service website ordering and an online payment portal for smaller hosting/VPS/IPTV buyers. Pricing is published in Azerbaijani Manat with 18% VAT (e.g., 1U co-location at 30 AZN/month, standard VPS at 30 AZN/month, hosting from 11 AZN/month) with custom quotes for enterprise solutions.
