KAZAN, REPUBLIC OF TATARSTAN, RUSSIA, May 24, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Russia’s State Corporation Rostec has announced during CIPR-2017 IT conference in Kazan, that it and its partners the OMMG Technology and Mind Labs are working on a standardized communications system – a Russian analogue of Skype with a high level of information security for government agencies and industry.— deputy general director of JSC Ruselectronics Arseniy Brykin
The concept of the system presented at CIPR-2017 event is being developed in a joint company Bulat established by Ruselectronics (part of Rostec State Corporation), and Russia’s telecom giant Rostelecom.
The system is designed to cater needs of government institutions as well as industrial companies and combines telephony and messenger functions: phone and video calls, text messages, and file sharing over corporate network. The system will not access the Internet and should be resistant hacker attacks.
"Recent cyberattacks have made it clear that most information systems produced abroad are vulnerable," says deputy general director of JSC Ruselectronics Arseniy Brykin. "As a counter to this, we are creating Russian IT and telecommunications products which certainly contain no "surprises" and are properly protected from undue external interference. This is an almost unrivalled development in terms of functionality; it is also unique in terms of information protection. It is a modern and convenient system which allows confidential information to be transferred in any format."
The proposed system is based on the OMMG communications platform (messenger), the Mind service for videoconferences and conference calls, as well as software and hardware by Bulat, a multipoint control unit and professional terminal equipment.
At present, a working prototype of the system is being built. As part of the CIPR-2017 Conference, partners have agreed to continue joint work and plan to sign a relevant cooperation agreement.
The CIPR-2017 Conference is being be held from May 24 through May 26 with the support of Russian ministries such as the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Communications and Mass Media (Minkomsvyaz), as well as the Government of the Republic of Tatarstan and Rostec State Corporation.
