In 2010 Evgeny Akhmadishin decided to be engaged in distribution of the sensors monitoring movements of objects which were made by the large European vendor which did not adjust sales of the devices in Russia yet wrote the Forbes magazine^[1]. He assumed that sensors can be delivered for accounting of number of cars on roads and parkings. In partners the entrepreneur called Andrey Sinitsyn with whom he got acquainted in KPMG.

The sensors of the European company brought to Russia, by Akhmadishin's recognition, did not meet expectations. He, in particular, found defect in a method of data transmission of the import counters working at the ZigBee protocol.

Having brought together familiar old contacts engineers in MIPT, Akhmadishin remade algorithms of sensors under work with the new wireless LPWAN protocol. The graduate of MIPT Yury Birchenko was one of the main technology partners of Akhmadishin at that stage. In 2011 together with Akhmadishin they founded Intellectual System Traffic company. Later Birchenko created other company - Nwave which is engaged in development of a cloud platform for the intercomputer interaction and IoT-devices using which sensors could exchange data and save battery power.

Akhmadishin with colleagues created own LPWAN option. In 2012 partners released prototypes of counters with LPWAN modem. The solution seemed to them ideal for housing sector - it allowed to take readings from devices far off. Sales of counters of water began summer of 2013 with LPWAN modem under the Martin brand.

2018

"Martin" departed to founders of Platon, Vaviot - under a wing of developer Coalco

The business on production of Martin sensors created in 2014 by Evgeny Akhmadishin and Andrey Sinitsyn in 2018 passed to creators of the Platon system Igor Rotenberg and Alexander Shipelov [2] (in more detail).

The producer of Vaviot sensors created by Akhmadishin in 2016 (the legal person "Telematic solutions") since September, 2018 for 13% belongs to the CEO of development group of Coalco companies Alexander Kuznetsov, for 87% - the American company "Vaviot Integrated Systems". On the website Coalco "Vaviot" it is specified among key projects in which the development group is engaged.

In October, 2018 by phone specified on the website "Vaviot", the employee of the company told TAdviser that Akhmadishin does not work for them long ago.

Year in the pre-trial detention center

On October 25, 2018 the Moscow City Court satisfied the petition of the investigation for prolongation of term of keeping of Evgeny Akhmadishin under guards. Term was prolonged till January 30, 2019, reported TAdviser in Moscow City Court. Thus, Akhmadishin is nearly a year in custody.

The term of detention often lasts in connection with prolongation of a period of investigation on case. In a case with Akhmadishin's case the termination of a period of investigation was planned for October 30 earlier.

Within a year Evgeny Akhmadishin's protection repeatedly tried to dispute this measure of restraint and to replace it with house arrest or the client's exit on the security. In the appeal resolution of Moscow City Court of January 29, 2018 it is specified that protection offered for Akhmadishin pledge in the amount of 60 million rubles.

The lawyer expressed disagreement with the court order about Akhmadishin's arrest in the petition for appeal, finding it illegal and unreasonable. On a lawyer's opinion, by consideration of the petition of the investigator the court kept from proper studying of the provided materials and came to an unreasonable conclusion that bodies of pretrial investigation on case obtain the sufficient data indicating an event of crime and participation in the investigated Akhmadishin's act.

The lawyer also paid attention that Akhmadishin constantly lives in the territory of the Russian Federation, being her citizen, and his international passport and the passport of the citizen of Romania were withdrawn by the investigator. Among arguments for benefit of release from custody the facts were also given that the client has no property outside the Russian Federation, did not use the foreign bank account.
