History

2007 year

The year of 2007 was remarkable for PrioCom for unprecedented large-scale projects of optic and packet networks implemented to the order of Ukraine’s leading telecommunication operators. In course of the year, the company commissioned the 11 thousand km long multi-service Beeline network with 129 sites using Huawei Technologies equipment. Within the project framework, PrioCom for the first time acted as the general contractor responsible to the operator for turnkey networking. All operations – network design, fiber delivery, operations of installation and tuning of SDH and DWDM equipment, net-wide deployment and adjustment of the control system – were arranged by PrioCom.

In cooperation with worldwide equipment suppliers, such as Cisco Systems and ECI Telecom, Kyivstar and MTC Ukraine networks were upgraded and expanded.

The company employees worked out specification documents concerning the architecture of a third generation mobile network (3G) of the UMTS Universal Mobile Telecommunications System standard. PrioCom specialists calculated the UMTS net workload at connection to the public switched telephone network (PSTN), interface of the 3G network with mobile operator networks and PSTN, and calculated the network construction cost and repayment period.

The new specializations acquired by Cisco Systems – Storage Specialization, Expressed Unified Communication and Security VPN/Firewall Express Specialization – expanded PrioCom’s expertise in advanced and optimally cost-effective networking solutions. Additionally, PrioCom became a Microsoft partner in the competence of the Networking Infrastructure Solution.
