GS Group and Philax will produce computer components and peripherals on the basis of the enterprise "NPO" CTS "

2021: Computer Components and Peripherals Launch Plans

GS Group Holding on April 15, 2021 announced that together with Philax Group of Companies they are implementing a project to localize the production of electronic devices and components in the Russian Federation. The companies agreed to launch the production of computer components and peripherals in the Technopolis GS innovation cluster on the basis of the enterprise of NPO CTS JSC.

We have already passed all the tests of experimental batches of products: monitors for desktop computers and motherboards for stationary PCs.

The motherboard is based on the AMD B450 chipset and, according to the set of capabilities, fully meets the basic needs of the ordinary user. For ease of integration with specific systems, the board has PS/2 connectors, supports a COM connection (with the ability to bring the connector to the chassis if necessary), and also allows the installation of a trusted boot module, which is crucial, for example, for government organizations or financial structures.

Main characteristics:

• AMD AM4 Ryzen 2000. 3000 and 5000 Series Desktop Processors support;
• DDR4 3200/2933/2667/2400/2133 ECC and non-ECC memory support up to 128 GB
• Support for up to three monitors
• 2x PCI Express 3.0 x16;
• 1x PCI Express 2.0 x1;
• 4x SATA3 6.0 Gb/s, with features RAID (RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 10), NCQ, AHCI, and Hot Plug;
• 2x USB 2.0 (electrostatic bit protection);
• 4x USB 3.1 Gen1 (Electrostatic Discharge Protection).

Functionality closes the basic requirements of the register of the Ministry of Industry and Trade: computers assembled on its basis comply with the KTRU and can be supplied to state structures. The examination, as a result of which the fee will be included in the GISP, should be completed in May 2021.

In the near future, companies plan to jointly produce up to 50,000 monitors and at least 40,000 motherboards. In addition, Philax plans for the next 18 months to develop and manufacture a motherboard for all-in-ones and compact barebones, develop mattboards for domestic processors (Elbrus, Baikal), expand the production of a line of monitors and work together on a touch panel for the needs of educational institutions. Partnership in these areas of activity is also planned with the enterprises of the GS Group holding.

The production of Philax products at the facilities of the GS Group is an example of effective and mutually beneficial intra-industry cooperation, the driver of which was the strategy for the development of the electronic industry. On the territory of Russia, an ecosystem of developers and manufacturers of the most complex electronic devices and solutions for the civilian market is gradually being formed, which significantly accelerates the transition of the critical information infrastructure of our country to domestic technologies and products. The development of the internal production chain allows developers to innovate faster, reduces the path from the idea to the finished solution. The industry can raise and retain talented engineers. It is for this purpose that we are developing Technopolis GS as an integrated complex of enterprises, introducing production technologies, "said Fedor Boyarkov, Director of Production Development at GS Group.

NPO "CTS" is one of the representatives of domestic electronics production, "commented Ivan Afinogenov, head of the research and development department of Philax Group of Companies, on the partnership. - Working with it guarantees us stable quality of assembly and minimum technological scrap. In the end, these are satisfied customers - and this is what matters to the business. Not only proudly declare "we have the technique of Russian assembly" (which is often not so good, unfortunately), but also do everything so that the final recipient can use the computer as long as possible and as effectively as possible. And we are pleased to cooperate with a stable and technological company that minimizes our risks on the one hand and promotes the status of the definition of "made in Russia" on the other.
