STRIZH

What STRIZH does

STRIZH (legal entity ООО «Современные Радио Технологии», abbreviated ООО «СРТ») is a Russian developer and provider of LPWAN-based IoT/M2M solutions, incorporated in 2017 in Moscow as a Skolkovo resident company. Its offering is built around a proprietary XNB (Extended Narrowband) radio protocol operating at 868.8 MHz and supporting up to 10 km coverage in urban environments and up to 2 million messages per day per base station. The full product stack includes LPWAN base stations (СТРИЖ.Net), smart meters for electricity (A1M single-phase), water, gas, and heat with integrated XNB radio modules, TKO (solid waste) container fill-level sensors, telemetry radio modules for OEM integration, and the СТРИЖ.Cloud web platform for device management and consumption data visualization. Reported outcomes include up to 3-4% reduction in electricity losses and demonstrated city-scale coverage of 90% in Kazan via 18 base stations and 7,000+ sensors.

The company sells to housing and communal services (ЖКХ) providers, SNT (gardening partnerships), municipal smart-city operators, industrial enterprises, and waste-management firms, primarily across Russia with one disclosed CIS (Uzbekistan) entry. Distribution is partner-led, with exclusive regional distributors in the Northwestern Federal District (ЦСК) and the Volga Federal District (ЭнергоПромАвтоматика), general dealers across Ulyanovsk, Tatarstan, Rostov, Kaliningrad, Volgograd, and other regions, supplemented by direct enterprise sales for major accounts and a self-serve СТРИЖ.Cloud portal for smaller buyers. Revenue mechanics combine hardware sales (meters, base stations, sensors, radio modems) with recurring subscription-like network services on the proprietary base station network and access to the Cloud platform; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. STRIZH positions itself as a 100% domestically developed and manufactured alternative to LoRa and NB-IoT, emphasizing independence from mobile operator royalties and supply continuity.

Revenue, headcount, funding, and ownership are not publicly disclosed; the company is privately held, founder/General Director-led (Denis Borisovich Simakin), and operates without reported external institutional investors or M&A activity.
