SMARTS Group of Companies, which has been operating in the market since May
1991 and known until 2015 as a mobile communications operator in 16 constituent
entities of the Russian Federation, has focused in the past few years on three
interconnected innovative projects: the creation of road telecommunication networks,
the construction of geographically distributed data centers, the development and
production of quantum key distribution devices to protect communication lines of
the constructed infrastructure. Nowadays, the "road" project in the Samara region
is nearing completion: more than 1000 km of linear-cable structures have been built.
Thus, the Samara region, having a huge automotive cluster, will now receive the most
powerful and reliable fiber optic network.
