The logo for Vyrant Telecom

Vyrant Telecom is a human telecommunications business.

History

Vyrant Telecom was a telecommunications company founded sometime before August 2552.

Human-Covenant war

Main article: Human-Covenant war

During the Fall of Reach, Covenant forces established a foothold in their skyscraper in New Alexandria. It's likely that skyscraper was lost to Covenant glassing.[1]

When the Covenant attacked Mombasa, Vyrant Telecom's megatall skyscraper took significant damage.[2] The Covenant eventually started glassing the city looking for an ancient artifact. This glassing likely destroyed the megatall.[3]

Post-war

In either 2557 or 2558, Vyrant Telecom had multiple advertisements in the city of Pilvros, New Carthage.[4]

Facilities

Vyrant Telecom had a number of skyscrapers in New Mombasa. The most prominent, and easily the tallest skyscraper in the city, is their 2km megatall in New Mombasa's city center.[5][note 1]

Much like the building in Mombasa, the Vyrant Telecom Tower in New Alexandria was among the highest buildings in the city.[1]

Trivia

  • Judging by Vyrant's logo and motto, Vyrant might be a parody of the real-world telecommunications company, Verizon.
  • An advertisement for Vyrant Telecom appears on the Halo 4 map Perdition.
