📋 Tender Overview
Rostelecom in Karelia has modernized the communications infrastructure in five settlements of the republic. Now high-speed Internet using the most modern PON technology [1] is available in the settlements of Vyartsilya, Lendery, Chupa, Shuya. Previously, the Internet in these settlements was provided via copper cable, and in some areas it was completely absent.
Elena Degtyareva, Director of Work with the Mass Segment of the Karelian Branch of PJSC Rostelecom:
"These villages had a communication network before, but it was inferior to optical technology in terms of quality characteristics. Now the signal stability in small settlements is no different from cities, and the connection speed depends only on the selected tariff."
In Petrozavodsk itself, the provider transferred residents of several apartment buildings from copper communication lines to fiber-optic ones. The work performed will ensure higher speed and stability of the connection.
Since the beginning of the year, specialists have laid more than 20 kilometers of fiber optics, installed more than 200 new supports, mounted the necessary equipment and connected communication lines to each household. Thanks to this, 2.5 thousand families in apartment buildings and in the private sector of villages will be able to connect the company's digital services using PON technology.
Anastasia Sokolova, head of the Shuya rural settlement:
"For most local residents, the Internet is not just a means of communication or a source of information, but a way of life. Many work remotely, their homes are equipped with smart technologies, and it is now impossible to imagine children's education without online platforms and services. Many enterprises and organizations operate in our area. High-speed Internet is important for both business and the public sector. Therefore, our residents are eagerly awaiting the arrival of fast and reliable modern communications."
The Shuya rural settlement includes 10 settlements. More than 5 thousand people permanently reside in them. At present, work on modernization and construction of a fiber-optic network in the settlement of Shuya continues.
