– What is the role and place of MCN Telecom in the Russian communications market? – We became the first virtual mobile operator for business, combining fixed, mobile and corporate communications services on one platform. The peculiarity of the service is that we provide subscribers in international roaming with Multi SIM cards, which allow them to switch between different operators without physically replacing the SIM card. In addition, we offer subscribers a virtual PBX, which combines fixed and mobile communications in one end device – a mobile or landline phone. – What projects have been implemented by MCN Telecom to date? – In terms of developing our own infrastructure, we work in three main areas in Russia.
These are the construction of intercity vietnam email list and international telecommunications networks (IG/IH networks), the construction of local telephone communication nodes, and the MVNO project. a long-haul/international network. This year, MCN Telecom demonstrated high rates of connecting new regions, which ensured an intensive influx of new subscribers. We have completed the construction of our own long-haul/international network in all 85 federal districts of the Russian Federation and are at the final stage of putting the network into operation and commercial launch in the regions of Russia. Investments in the project, according to preliminary estimates, will amount to about 180 million rubles.
Of these, about half are equipment costs. We use certified equipment from a Russian developer, which allows us to save money when implementing the project. And by saving, we can offer subscribers high-quality communication services on favorable terms. The payback period for the project will be about five years. The marginality upon implementation will increase by 20 percent. As for the second direction – launching local communication nodes, we plan to ensure the emergence of 55 local hubs by the end of 2018. In 2017, we launched more than 15 such nodes. Now we are putting into commercial operation communication nodes in about two or three cities per month.
