Novatel: Novatel Sofia Data Center
About Novatel Sofia Data Center
The official website independently identified for this investigation is novatel.bg. The reviewed official sources confirm that Novatel is a Bulgarian telecom operator that offers colocation as a service and states it has 39 communication facilities across Bulgaria, with colocation available in 30 of them. However, the reviewed official sources do not publish a dedicated facility page for a single named data center called “Novatel”, and they do not explicitly identify one specific Novatel data center facility with a confirmed facility-level street address, rack count, total power, gross space, or facility-specific certification scope. The published Sofia address is official company contact information, not an explicitly published street address for a specific Novatel data center facility.
