en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Kaliningrad branch of PJSC Rostelecom is focusing on strengthening cooperation with regional telecom operators, aiming to improve the quality of telecommunication services through partnerships and knowledge sharing in response to rapid technological advancements and growing user demands. Alexey Semenov, head of the branch, emphasized the importance of this collaborative direction.
Maxim Basarev, head of the cooperation direction with regional telecom operators at Rostelecom, introduced upcoming legislative changes. Starting December 1 of this year, the first phase will impose a technical fee on finished products; subsequently, the second phase will apply relevant fees to foreign-manufactured components. This initiative aims to support localized production, develop Russia's radio-electronic base and domestic electronic products, and create fair competition conditions for domestic manufacturers against foreign counterparts.
To alleviate financial pressure on telecom operators, Rostelecom has introduced cooperation programs, including installment plans with no down payment for large contracts and annual contracts at fixed equipment prices. These measures help operators plan budgets and avoid additional expenses.
Rostelecom is actively promoting the transition to Russian-made equipment. In May of this year, the company announced the establishment of the holding company Technowave, integrating domestic carrier-grade equipment manufacturers such as Bulat, Rostelecom Technologies (RTT), and RTK-Protey, covering key information infrastructure areas. Additionally, Rostelecom collaborates with major Russian manufacturers to provide cost-effective solutions for operators. Telecom service providers can also purchase equipment and services that comply with the latest legal requirements through Rostelecom's online store.
