Rostelecom unifies telecom manufacturing under one industrial holding
Rostelecom is consolidating its telecommunications manufacturing under a single industrial holding company. The move brings together key subsidiaries producing everything from routers to 4G base stations. The restructuring aims to streamline operations across the group’s tech and production divisions. The new holding, led by Rostelecom’s subsidiary Tekhnoveiv, has taken full or majority control of three affiliated firms: Bulat LLC, Russian Telecommunications Technologies (RTT) LLC, and RTK-Protei LLC. Bulat specialises in designing domestic 2G and 4G mobile base stations, while RTT’s St. Petersburg production line assembles routers, switches, IP phones, video cameras, and set-top boxes. RTK-Protei, meanwhile, focuses on developing Russia’s 4G mobile core network.
Alexander Yevgenyevich Loginov, born in 1978 in Nizhny Bestyakh, Yakutia, has been appointed CEO of the holding and its subsidiary Bulat. The consolidation also extends to Rostelecom’s plans for consumer electronics, with mass production of ‘smart’ TVs running the Aurora TV operating system set to begin this autumn. These TVs will be manufactured at Electra, another Rostelecom subsidiary based in Moscow. The unified structure will now oversee all carrier-grade telecommunications equipment within Rostelecom’s group. This includes systems for critical information infrastructure, as well as consumer devices like smart TVs. The changes mark a push to centralise production and development under a single industrial umbrella.
