📋 Tender Overview
In 2024, Rostelecom in Komi provided modern cellular communications to over 2,500 people as part of the second stage of the federal project to eliminate digital inequality (UCN 2.0). High-speed Internet appeared in the villages of Badyolsk and Velikopolye, the settlements of Smolyanka and Yagkedzh (Ust-Kulomsky District), Mitrofan-Dikost and Bely Bor (Troitsko-Pechorsky District), Vezhyu (Koygorodsky District) and in the village of Chernutyevo (Udorsky District).
Vitaly Osipov, Acting Minister of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of the Komi Republic: "The UCN 2.0 project is of great social significance both for the region and for the North as a whole. In our territories, geographical remoteness of settlements from each other is not at all uncommon, so stable mobile communications are of particular importance here. Voting for settlements and villages that will be included in the 2025 target program has already been completed. The votes are now being counted." Over the four years of implementation of the UCN 2.0 project, Rostelecom covered 42 settlements in the Komi Republic and laid almost 30 km of fiber-optic cable.
Sergey Lobanov, Director of the Komi branch of PJSC Rostelecom: "Everyone needs communication. And its ubiquity is a matter of time. To implement the project, since the beginning of the year, our specialists have additionally laid 11 km of fiber-optic cable. It not only ensures high-speed data transmission, but also increases the coverage of the region's settlements with telecom infrastructure. And it, in turn, is the basis for further digital development of the territories."
The second stage of eliminating digital inequality is being implemented by Rostelecom by order of the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of the Russian Federation. The project provides for the appearance of modern mobile communications in small towns with a population of 100 to 500 people.
The targeted construction plan is annually formed on the public services portal using a public vote organized by the Ministry of Digital Development of the Russian Federation. The program includes villages, settlements, and towns that received the largest number of votes. UCN 2.0 is part of the federal project "Information Infrastructure" of the national program "Digital Economy of the Russian Federation".
