What CityNet does

CityNet is a Russian limited liability company (OOO «Ситинет» [Sitinеt]) headquartered in Moscow that designs, manufactures, and services network connectivity equipment for self-service payment infrastructure, including ATMs, parking payment terminals, payment kiosks, and interactive kiosks. The company has operated continuously since 1998, manufacturing its hardware stack domestically within Russia. Its primary customers are Russian banks, parking payment system operators, payment terminal operators, and kiosk operators requiring reliable, secure data transmission from remote terminals to processing centers.

The company's core offering is the CityNet SV5 platform, an integrated hardware-software solution consisting of the MicroSV5 industrial router and the Remote Power Assistant module. The MicroSV5 router features a SigmaStar SSD202 dual-core Cortex-A7 processor at 1.2 GHz, 128 MB DDR3, 2 GB SPI NAND flash, LTE Cat 4 connectivity, dual RJ45 10/100 Ethernet ports, USB 2.0, dual SIM card slots, RS232/RS485 interfaces, and three managed 220V outlets supporting 10A total. The Remote Power Assistant provides remote equipment management with a circuit breaker with fuse function, RS485 telemetry port, and 12V/USB power output for external devices. The software stack includes Server SV5, the DeviceManager application for node management, and OpenSource-based monitoring systems configured for the platform. The system supports up to 20 minutes of emergency operation during power or connectivity disruptions.

CityNet operates a direct B2B sales motion targeting enterprise clients through toll-free phone lines (8-800-333-0322), a Moscow number, a corporate website with callback forms, and email. The company generates revenue through three streams: one-time hardware sales (routers, Remote Power Assistant modules, power supplies, antennas, cables, sensors), monthly subscription consulting services (network setup, training, operational instructions, post-warranty repairs, and software support for Server SV5, DM TMS, and LogAnalizer), and monthly subscription technical support providing 24/7 hotline, real-time monitoring, remote diagnostics, and software updates. Service pricing is calculated individually per client based on scope of work. The company offers a 30-day free testing period, a 5-year warranty covering repair or equivalent replacement, and operates exclusively within the Russian domestic market with no disclosed international expansion.
