    Have arrived


    The Telesystem office is not only nearby, getting from the River Station by two buses is still an adventure, so my friend, who specially arrived from St. Petersburg to Khabraden in Telesystems, was even a little late. At the entrance office center, where the Soviet hardened watchman leisurely executed
    documents, we encountered the same guests from Habr and together we went up to the Telesystem office.

    Opposite the respect is a cabinet with product samples - on one of the shelves, next to Edic recorders, you can see the Guinness sticker (clickable): The certificate itself (the last three received since 2004) hangs next to it:







    Production


    The tour began with the department of production, assembly and packaging - they are together located under one roof in a large hall.

    Actually assembly: testing: and packaging: Some visitors were very businesslike and asked specific questions about production, suppliers, and were interested in relations with other companies. Then they left before everyone else, apparently, having received all the information they were interested in :) The questions of the bloggers were more diverse - they were interested in literally everyone. Personally, I asked why Telesystems did not want to expand production, remaining in the niche of almost manual, piece production. In response, I heard a comparison with Ferrari - from which, as I understand it, it follows that this niche is completely satisfied with them. It’s understandable - they have the same voice recorders












    not cheap .

    Development


    The development department turned out to be a small room compared to the production hall, with a maximum of ten people - an ordinary office, in general, if you do not know that they are developing products that even NASA uses. But more about that below.

    Every week they announce a new product - it can be either a completely new development, or an
    update of an existing one.

    The main brain of developers at work: Unlike large companies, there is no large and strong marketing department that dictates what and how to do, so Telesystems is primarily a company of engineers, not managers.





    Coffee


    As promised, after the tour we switched to coffee and cookies - it was already a purely “blogging” part, informal communication about everything.

    We even started a small discussion on how to design the technology from Zelenograd at the Apple level: andorro is spinning a new development in its hands - the mAVR video recorder with a large touch screen, which is not yet on sale: - the video recorder is essentially a video camera, but with more wide specialization - he can not only record video, but also work as part of a security system, etc. It can be configured - for continuous recording or triggering from movement. Thanks to buffer recording, mAVR







    can record the history of the event - and when, for example, a motion sensor is activated, including it, you can see not only the recording from the moment of the alarm, but also the previous few minutes.

    A very popular thing among motorists - it is used as an owl-like “black box” in case of, for example, an accident and subsequent showdowns with the insurance and traffic police. There is a model with four slots for memory cards with a total capacity of 128 gigabytes.
    By the way, it is the "Moors" that NASA uses in its space programs - they were satisfied with the ratio of weight, duration and recording quality. And with their help, the Colombian police are catching drug lords in their country.

    As it turned out, miniature voice recorders and video recorders are also very well known in our special services. Moreover, the "internal organs" are interested in the activities of "Telesystems" not only in terms of the acquisition of their products. But with all the permissions the company has everything OK: of course, the same special services have at their disposal more miniature recording devices, but there are no complaints about the civilian products of Telesystem. Moreover, the Edic recorder can be used in court thanks to a system of special digital tags that make discreet recording impossible - which also has the appropriate permission :)

    Organizational


    Still, Zelenograd is not the best place to hold meetings with bloggers, unless you organize a shuttle from the metro to them. Therefore, the following such events will be held already in Moscow.

    But the most persistent, of those who got to Zelenograd and then stayed on a coffee-cookie-conversation: In fact, this is far from all that we wanted and could tell about the products of Zelenograd craftsmen. For example, behind the scenes there remains a separate large area of ​​the company’s work - decorative lamps, and there is also something to show and tell about. And we will definitely do it.
