📋 Tender Overview
Rostelecom has built a modern communications network in the private sector of the village of Narovchat and the urban-type settlement of Bashmakovo in the Penza Region. The provider's specialists laid more than six kilometers of trunk cable to the district centers, installed about 29 kilometers of distribution networks in the settlements, and installed 16 supports. Access to high-speed Internet and digital services was received by 2,856 families.
Vasily Rusakov, Director of the Penza branch of PJSC Rostelecom:
"The demand for digital services in rural areas is quite high. The existing copper infrastructure in settlements is no longer able to meet the growing needs of customers: it is inferior to optics in terms of data transfer speed and connection stability. In Bashmakovo and Narovchat, many streets are located one and a half to two kilometers from the Internet access node, and it was not possible to connect new customers. We decided to build a modern communications network in the district centers. Now new technologies have come to every private home."
In the private sector, GPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Network) technology is used when laying fiber optics. The line is brought directly into the house. Residents can connect several digital services via one cable: home Internet, Wink video service for watching hundreds of TV channels, tens of thousands of films and series, and video surveillance to ensure security in the house and yard.
Nikita Averyanov, resident of Bashmakovo:
"High-speed Internet has reached us, and we are very happy about it. The company's specialists installed an optical cable in our house and a router that distributes Wi-Fi to all the rooms. The new technologies appeared on the eve of the school year. The children are delighted! It will be easier for my eldest son to search for information that will help him in his studies. The youngest now watches his favorite cartoons - there are a huge number of them in the Wink video service collection. A week has passed since the connection - we are very pleased with the quality of the connection."
