Maxima Telecom, which operates in the Moscow metro, won the tender for the provision of a single Wi-Fi operator.

Such a system will make it possible to more effectively block Telegram and sites prohibited in Russia. According to the terms of reference, Maxima Telecom should provide for the collection, storage, analysis of monitoring data and user traffic using Big Data and DPI technologies, as well as provide reports to the authorities.

The mayor’s office said that it was necessary “to predict the socio-economic development of the city”.

In addition to Maxim Telecom, the operator Netbynet participated in the contest (controlled by MegaFon), but he asked for a larger amount for his services: 160.6 million rubles.

The free city Wi-Fi network has more than 15 thousand points. Contractors for the installation and provision of communications used to be different companies: Prestige Internet (part of Er-Telecom Holding), Akado, MGTS and Vimpelcom.

The city network is represented in different districts of Moscow: within the Garden Ring, in places of mass gathering of citizens within the Third Transport Ring, metropolitan parks, libraries, cultural centers, museums, a network of cinemas MosKino and university dormitories. Network characteristics from the official site:

  • total channel capacity of the network allows up to 55 thousand users to access the Internet simultaneously;
  • work in two frequencies (2.4 and 5 GHz);
  • speed per user - at least 1 Mbit / s;
  • video in high quality;
  • each access point provides a connection within a radius of up to 50 meters;
  • up to 50 devices can be simultaneously connected to one point;
  • the duration of one session is not limited.

There is no information about DPI on the official website.

A single operator can potentially expand and integrate the existing network to 25 thousand access points. They will be taken away from the current operators and given to the new. Under the terms of the contract, work must be completed in the first half of 2020.

Maxima Telecom will unite all Moscow public Wi-Fi networks on its MT_FREE platform, and the total number of access points in its network will be more than 40 thousand.
