The company, which belongs to the Ministry of Defense, began creating its own telecom operator. In 2019, Voentelecom received a license as a virtual mobile operator on Tele2 networks, but its services were not provided in Crimea.

"Voentelecom" is creating its own mobile operator "VTK-Mobile" to build networks, provide communication services and services to government agencies and special consumers. This was announced at the "Army-2023" forum by the company's CEO Alexander Artamonov.

"Currently, Voentelecom india whatsapp resource specialists are carrying out tasks in new territories: increasing coverage and improving communications in Crimea and Sevastopol, testing Russian-made base stations," the company reported.

"Voentelecom" is a specialized company of federal significance, owned by the Ministry of Defense. It is engaged in ensuring the interests of the state in the field of information security and telecommunications. It is the only supplier for the Ministry of Defense of services in the field of maintenance and repair of IT infrastructure and military communications equipment, equipping communications facilities and operational and technical maintenance of communication lines and structures.
services under the MVNO (virtual operator) model four years ago, in March 2019. The company developed the project on the networks of T2 RTK Holding (a subsidiary of Rostelecom, providing services under the Tele2 brand). The main client base is the military, Vedomosti sources said. The connection is primarily intended for residents of military towns and can be extended to all military personnel in the country.

The Voentelecom website lists tariffs for individuals and legal entities. They are valid for the entire territory of the country, except for Crimea.

A representative of Voentelecom told RBC that the key target segments of their virtual operator are b2b and b2g, and ""testing and parallel use of SIM cards with Russian cryptography" have begun." According to him, "the use of the aforementioned SIM cards allows for improved network security and ensures consumers' trust in receiving the operator's services."

More than ten years ago, Voentelecom already tried to enter the mobile communications market. For example, in 2011, then-Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov asked to allocate frequencies to the company Osnova Telecom, in which Voentelecom owns slightly more than 25%. A year later, it received frequencies of 2.3–2.4 GHz for the deployment of an LTE network throughout Russia, but in 2013, the new minister, Sergei Shoigu, wrote to President Vladimir Putin that Osnova Telecom did not need the frequencies, and the Defense Ministry did not object to putting them up for tender. A year later, the court overturned the decision to allocate frequencies, and in 2015, after legal proceedings, several dozen base stations that Voentelecom had already launched in cities across the country stopped working.
