Under the agreement, Rostelecom will build fibre-optic communication lines on the territory of Petropavlovsk’s gold mines, which will allow it to provide a wide range of telecommunication services.

A virtual PBX allows organisation of telephony via the Internet with the functions of call forwarding, distribution and recording of calls. The phone number is not tied to the connection address and will remain with the client even if the office is changed. Also, the enterprise will organise digital services as telemedicine, managed WiFi and interactive TV.
