Expanding US sanctions
In June 2024, NPF Mikran was included in the blocking SDN-list of the USA[1]Previously, only export US restrictions were applied to Mikran.
Russian IT companies that fell under US, EU and British sanctions in 2022-2024 TAdviser map
TAdviser drew up a map of Russian IT companies in 2022-2024. which fell under the sanctions of the United States, the EU and Britain. It included, among other things, NPF Mikran. The article about the map can be found here.
Gazprom Tech bought 90% of NPF Mikran
On February 13, 2024, it became known about the sale of 90% of NPF Mikran to Gazprom Tech from the Gazprom group. The value of the transaction was not disclosed.
According to Kommersant, the deal has already taken place. A top manager of a large IT integrator and an employee in one of the electronics manufacturers told the publication that the structures of AFK Sistema and Rosatom were also interested in buying NPF Mikran.
Arseny Brykin, General Director of the Basis Consortium, noted that Mikran supplies equipment for Gazprom's structures. Thus, the company can mitigate risks when working with the supplier.
 | It is quite possible that for Gazprom Mikran is a critical supplier of equipment and solutions that has risks in organizing its activities. In this situation, it is easier to buy a company by vertically integrating the supplier. This neutralizes some of the risks, and most importantly, it will allow them to be managed, - believes Arseny Brykin. |  |
FG Finam analyst Leonid Delitsyn said in an interview with the newspaper that 100% of NPF Mikran could cost up to 14 billion rubles. According to the expert's forecasts, the demand for Russian telecommunications equipment will increase, including due to large-scale government plans for import substitution of foreign equipment.
NPF Mikran is a manufacturer of telecommunication equipment, instrumentation, microwave electronics and modules, radars for navigation and security, etc. Mikran also produces equipment for satellite communication systems, so "synergy with the company" 'is possible, "Gazprom Space Systems said Oleg Beshtau Osipov, CEO of". " He estimated the potential cost of NPF Mikran at about 5-10 billion rubles.[2]

2011
- On March 14, 2011, it became known that Rusnano was going to invest in the production of LTE (4G) base stations in the Tomsk region, which was signed today by an agreement of intent with the Tomsk enterprise Mikran, the regional administration and the Russian representative office of Nokia Siemens Networks.
The agreement of intent does not contain information on the size of investments in the project and on the composition and shares of investors: these figures will be made public only when an investment contract is signed. As explained by CNews in Rusnano[3], "the volume, structure, and composition of investors" are still in the process of being discussed. However, according to a source at Rusnano, "preparations for signing the investment contract are being accelerated" and can be completed "in a few months" (usually the term for preparing an investment agreement at Rusnano is limited to 9 months).
Kristina Tikhonova, director of the Russian representative office of Nokia Siemens Networks, told CNews that for the production of "4G LTE base stations of the Flexi family" at Mikran, her company will import new equipment and commission it.
The participation of Nokia Siemens Networks in the project will consist not only in the transfer of technologies and the transfer of know-how, but also in financial support, the size of which Tikhonova refrained from specifying. According to her, "such a project in Western Europe costs up to $50 million." Telecommunications equipment experts interviewed by CNews, based on known data about the project, believe it may require an investment of "the first tens of millions of dollars."
According to Tikhonova, production on the basis of Mikran will be launched before the end of 2011, reaching the design capacity is expected in the first half of 2012. The plant is designed to produce 10 thousand base stations per year.
The Tomsk enterprise Mikran has many years of experience in the production of radio equipment, and part of the enterprise's capacities is engaged in servicing the defense order. According to industry experts interviewed by the publication, Mikran has no experience in producing base stations for mobile networks.
According to Tikhonova, potential buyers of Mikran products will be, first of all, Russian operators. In addition, project participants are considering the possibility of entering foreign markets.
- On December 1, 2011, Nokia Siemens Networks, the Mikran research and production company and Rusnano opened a joint production of Long Term Evolution (LTE) base stations[4].
The joint venture Center for Wireless Technologies, located in the Tomsk special economic zone, has already released the first base station Flexi Multiradio 10 from Nokia Siemens Networks and by the end of December 2011 plans to manufacture a batch of 1,000 pieces of equipment. The Flexi Multiradio 10 station simultaneously supports GSM/EDGE, WCDMA/HSPA +, LTE/LTE-Advanced and offers over 10 Gbit/s capacity while consuming 30% less power compared to the previous generation Flexi Base Station (about 1 kW for all 3GPP communication standards).
"We have brought technological know-how to the country, which will help develop in Russia our own personnel potential for the production of modern LTE equipment, and will also become one of the components in the transition to an innovative economy," said Kristina Tikhonova, CEO of Nokia Siemens Networks in Russia. - Russia is an important market for Nokia Siemens Networks. By placing production facilities here, we will be able to become closer to Russian operators, simplifying logistics and reducing the delivery time of base stations for the rapid deployment of networks. "
By December 2011, Nokia Siemens Networks had created a base for research and development work in Russia and opened a global network operation center in Voronezh, which will provide Russian operators with service in the field of managed services, the report said.
"At the moment, no more than ten companies in the world can produce equipment with support for fourth-generation LTE technology. And now production in the special economic zone "Tomsk" is among them. This is an important step towards building a modern telecommunications infrastructure and innovative economy. And on the scale of not only the region, but the whole country, "said Oleg Kostin, General Director of the Special Economic Zones management company.
At the ceremony dedicated to the launch of the plant on December 1, 2011, an HD video call was demonstrated, which was performed using the Flexi Multiradio station released at the plant in Tomsk. To provide phase synchronization of the base station, the signal of the Russian satellite system GLONASS was also used for the first time.
