Rostelecom created a digital ecosystem for the Edelweiss boarding house in Elbrus

2021: Building a digital ecosystem

Rostelecom on October 6, 2021 announced that it had provided digital services to the Edelweiss boarding house (a separate unit of the Federal State Budgetary Institution "Sanatorium 'Oak Grove'" of the Office of the President of the Russian Federation), located in Elbrusye on the banks of the Baksan River. Specialists of the national provider connected the Internet, set up the operation of a virtual corporate network (VPN), deployed a Wi-Fi network, installed video surveillance and interactive television. In 2021, the tourist flow to the boarding house doubled, so Rostelecom also connected the Virtual Exchange service for it, which will help the staff of the institution maintain communication with customers in 24/7 mode.

When organizing the Wi-Fi service for guests, Rostelecom specialists installed 24 wireless Internet access points with a bandwidth of up to 100 Mbps in the boarding house. Network capacity provides simultaneous connectivity for 500 users.

We strive to ensure that every guest of the boarding house receives the maximum pleasure from staying in the mountains. Digital technology is an integral part of the service. Stable Internet helps us to quickly process applications for booking rooms, issue tourist groups, track transfer orders. With multichannel telephony, no call goes unnoticed. Vacationers have the opportunity to watch television programs with high quality of broadcasting and use free Wi-Fi with Internet access, "said Nikolai Panasenko, director of the Federal State Budgetary Institution" Sanatorium 'Oak Grove'. "

Hotel TV has only licensed content and provides high quality broadcasts, a large selection of interactive services and digital channels. The service is easily integrated with hotel management systems such as Opera and Fidelio. The dedicated channel allows hoteliers to send messages to the TV screen, show information about hotel services and special offers.

{{quote 'This is the second project to improve the customer's digital ecosystem. Earlier, at the Oak Grove sanatorium, we connected 130 hotel rooms to digital television, which, compared to cable and satellite, is a more relevant solution. Guests of the sanatorium have access to 65 TV channels with flexible control. Programs can be watched at a convenient time, regardless of airing, recorded, rewinded or paused, "said Alexei Shalar, adviser to the director of the Stavropol branch of Rostelecom PJSC. }}
