The forward contract involves the obligation of the seller to transfer the prepaid goods to the buyer on time. This mechanism allows you to fix the transaction price for a future date and eliminates the need to attract additional operating funds.

Microna CEO Gulnara Khasyanova said the company has offered 10 chips to Irtea and will offer new products as they are released. She noted the importance of the contract for the development of the production of the domestic electronic component base.

Khasyanova explained that the task of the forward contract is to unify the requirements. The smaller the series of products, the more difficult it is to compete in price due to the small volume of production. The company strives to create products that are suitable for several classes of equipment and customers at once.

Irtei CEO Dmitry Lakontsev indicated that the company will use chips to manage power and stabilize it. The chips will also allow control of antennas for communication lines and ensure the operation of the controller to start the digital module of base stations.

The head of Irtei noted a long cycle of introducing new components into production. From the design of design documentation to the delivery of the product to the device takes 3-4 years, including the manufacture of an experimental batch and testing.^[1]
