From former times at Summa Telecom there were sections of trunk capacity on the Moscow — Rostov-on-Don and Omsk — Gorno-Altaysk lines, and in the Volga region the company in general got rid of trunk channels, the commercial director of Amount Oleg Leonov told CNews. Also, unlike plans of last management, now Amount does not intend to become the federal trunk operator, and, in particular, did not begin to develop the project of construction of the trunk channel announced earlier from Sakhalin to Japan.

Also since the previous board Amount had two regional assets — the Yakut operator of fixed connection Essotel-Rustelekom (owns also the license for cellular communication of the GSM standard) and Kazakh "subsidiary" "Summa Telecom Kazakhstan" in which asset — frequencies for WiMAX. Development of both of these directions do not appear in priorities of Amount now, Prokopyev said.

History

2006

Summa Telecom received the All-Russian frequency bands for wireless data transmission of the WiMAX standard and a professional radio communication of Tetra. Also Amount announced that it wants to become the fourth federal mobile operator, and began to win the competitions which were taking place then on distribution of GSM licenses in Russian regions. However after the company won licenses in a number of regions of the Far East and the Urals, the lost operators (in particular, VimpelCom), lifted scandal. The federal service on supervision in the field of communication, mass communications and protection of cultural heritage which in 2007 passed powers on carrying out tenders to rendering services of cellular communication decided to change competitive conditions.

It caused series of judicial proceedings between service and the Ministry of information technologies and communications which was headed then by Leonid Reiman. However, eventually tenders on other regions took place on new conditions in which won nothing Summa Telecom.

2008

The new management headed by the former head of cellular division of Eventis Telecom company (works in the CIS countries) Ivan Prokopyev, which decided to concentrate on other direction — construction of networks of broadband access in the Internet came to the company. At the same time the Summa Capital holding of the Dagestan entrepreneur Ziyavudin Magomedov remains the only shareholder of the company.

2009

The Federal Antimonopoly Service strove for cancellation in court of results of the first tenders in which Amount became the favourite. In addition, the company also could not start WiMAX-and Tetra-network, having lost the right to uses of the corresponding frequencies.

2010

In 2010 Summa Telecom completed the first stage of strategy implementation of regional development, having opened representations in ten cities of Russia. Including Summoy Telecom the radio backbone network 250 km long in such region as the Republic of Dagestan low-saturated in terms of telecommunication infrastructure was built that allowed to connect the remote sections of the region to the Internet. The additional importance of an award is given by the fact that work of top management was mentioned by an award only one and a half years later after an exit to mass market. The company connected the first subscriber in April, 2009, and for today the subscriber base makes about 125,000 people in ten regions of Russia.

At the same time in May, 2016 the Summa Group reported that it will reorganize business of the subsidiary companies "Summa Telecom" and "National Telecom" therefore the first asset will concentrate on system integration and information protection, and the second — on operator business and b2b-solutions.
