In Russia, create a single data network for schools

In November 2021, it became known about the creation in Russia of a single data network for secondary schools. The project is being implemented by Rostelecom, said company president Mikhail Oseevsky.

This will create such a secure environment for schoolchildren to receive the content, the information that is permissible and expedient. Some educational institutions are already connected to a single data network, he said (quoted by Interfax).

According to the head of Rostelecom, the network will be launched before the end of 2021. Also by this time, the telecom operator intends to transfer all schools to a single Internet tariff. This is the decision of the Government of the Russian Federation, he stressed.

The agency recalls that the All-Russian Popular Front proposed to establish a single tariff for schools to access the Internet. As noted in the organization, 22% of schools pay twice the average price for the Internet in Russia, and 6% spend three times as much.

Mikhail Oseevsky in November 2021 also said that Rostelecom is engaged in equipping Wi-Fi schools and video surveillance, as well as creating a centralized educational environment. We are talking about a "big experiment" in the framework of the Spherical project. In 2022, this project should find an all-Russian scale, the president of the company added.

Earlier, the Ministry of Digital Affairs developed requirements for a single data transmission network for educational organizations and election commissions:

• for educational organizations located in urban settlements - at least 100 Mbps in the direction from and to socially significant objects;
• for educational organizations located in rural settlements - at least 50 Mbps in the direction from and to socially significant objects;
• for election commissions of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation - at least 90 Mbps in the direction from and to socially significant objects;
• for territorial election commissions - at least 15 (fifteen) Mbps in the direction from and to socially significant objects;
• for socially significant objects connected using satellite communication lines - at least 1 Mbps towards socially significant objects.^[1]
