KAYSVILLE, Utah – August 26, 2026 – OptConnect, a global leader in cellular IoT services, today announced its continued streak on the Utah Business Fast 50, a list of the fastest-growing companies in Utah. Landing at number 32 this year, OptConnect keeps building on that momentum — welcoming new customers around the world, breaking into new markets, rolling out innovative products, and making connectivity simple for businesses everywhere.
Behind that growth is a team that has stayed remarkably steady even as the company scales, according to Christie Kent, Chief Financial Officer at OptConnect. "One of the main reasons we've been so successful over the years is really due to our employees," said Kent. "We're a family at OptConnect — we've always been a family, and we always will be. Our employees care about the success of the company and about each other, and that's part of why we grow carefully. The hardest part of growing quickly is not expanding faster than we should, so we control our costs and automate manual, repetitive tasks wherever we can — freeing our people to focus on the work that matters."
The Fast 50 honorees are selected based on a combination of revenue growth and total revenue over a five-year period, with rankings verified by presenting sponsors Tanner and Kirton McConkie. This year, in partnership with those sponsors, Utah Business recognized the 50 fastest-growing companies in the state, ranked by total five-year revenue and compound annual growth rate.
