History

The Smart Telecom company throughout the history changed according to requirements and needs of the subscribers and the market in general. Flexible approach allowed the operator not only to sustain the competition and economic cataclysms, but also to develop dynamically, mastering segments, new to itself.

Today Smart Telecom occupies one of the leading positions in the market of corporate communication, saving at the same time flexible structure of business. 

1997-2002

The period of foundation of the company, 1997, had for "explosive" decade in the Russian market of telecommunications (1995-1999). Till 2000 the operator especially actively built network, came to objects of a commercial real estate and practically at once declared itself as about one of the main players in this segment.

2003-2007

At this time in the St. Petersburg market there is demanded card telephony (rates of mobile operators did not allow to make calls to other city and especially – to other country), and as the most widespread option for Internet connection the technology the Internet using a telephone line acts. The Smart Telecom makes the decision on product output for mass market, cards of an intercity/international telecommunication of PhoneClub offering cheap rates in all popular directions. In a corporate segment the operator chooses aggressive strategy for acquisition of adjacent assets. Along with the organic growth (expansion of the network and connection of the interesting objects), it gives additional opportunities for increase in a subscriber base and also quantity of the connected objects of a commercial real estate. Thanks to the growing market and own efforts, Smart Telecom shows annual and very significant growth in revenue from the majority of the rendered services.

2008-2011

The period of crisis of 2008-2009 of Smart Telecom, heavy for all market of corporate communication, meets fully equipped. While the market sank approximately for 25%, the operator continues to gain steam, increasing revenue from year to year by 5-10%, without an additional profit which the assets purchased at this time give. At the same time integration with the operator companies which were purchased earlier continues. All assets are integrated into the general network, becoming a part of Smart Telecom group.

The cost of telecommunication assets because of crisis falls that allows Smart Telecom to make some more profitable transactions among which there was an acquisition of Integrated Telesistema company (it is provided in 20 business centers of the city) and VMB Service (35 business centers). The last locates perspective solutions both in mass market, and in the field of additional "virtual" services for corporate subscribers.

During this period of Smart Telecom actively masters new urban area of business activity, the area of Pulkovo. Here a large number as business, and shopping centers where the operator leaves, including due to purchase of local operators is given (received the rights to service of one of the largest BCs of the city of class "A", "Aeroplaz", Smart Telecom after purchase of Plaza Telecom). Connection of several business centers in complex "A" - the class "Aeroportsiti" became an important step also.

However with development in the sector, traditional for itself at a boundary of 2008-2009 Smart Telecom began to work also with private market – as the uniform telecom operator (several services for one apartment: Internet access, digital television and telephone communication) in new residential complexes. The SmartHome project since launch saved high marginality, being for the operator of one of business diversification opportunities. The Smart Telecom residential complexes Olympic village on the Krestovsky island, Aurora on Vyborgskaya Embankment, Mont Blanc on Finlyandsky Avenue, "Ceremonial quarter" on Paradnaya Street and many others were connected.

For the beginning of 2011 the operator was present more than at 200 business complexes. The company services several thousands of corporate subscribers in the territory of St. Petersburg.

2012-2013

At the end of 2012 the company started own data center which allowed to expand a range of services for our existing and potential clients. We continue to develop actively integrally, expanding own network and increasing extent of the presence in residential, office and trade spaces. In addition to organic growth we continue policy of purchase of telecommunication assets that also allows us to increase the share in the market of telecommunication services.

The similar course as strategically justified example of cooperation, allows the company to expand significantly presence geography, to provide an input in new perspective objects of a commercial real estate and the businesss-territory, having given the additional chance for expansion.
