JSC "Wipline"

What JSC "Wipline" does

Wipline (ООО «Виплайн») is a Russian regional fixed-wireless broadband internet service provider founded in 2002 and headquartered in Voronezh. The company operates its own licensed radio-frequency base station network across more than 75% of Voronezh Oblast and has expanded into Rostov Oblast through a regional subsidiary. It serves a customer base exceeding 7,000 residential households, enterprises, and government clients, including named accounts such as Gazprom, Sberbank, Gazprombank, Metallinvestbank, Sovcombank, Mostotrest, AGRO-INVEST, and EcoNivaAgro.

The technology platform is built on dedicated licensed frequency spectrum and proprietary base station infrastructure that delivers wireless broadband to rooftop customer antennas, eliminating the need for wired last-mile connections. Speeds reach up to 300 Mbps for corporate clients and up to 5 Mbps on the top residential tier. The product portfolio spans three residential tariff plans (Narodny, Semeyny, Lyubimy) priced between 1,090 and 1,990 rubles per month, plus enterprise services including corporate internet, VPN networks, corporate telephony, video surveillance, Wi-Fi deployment, and structured cabling systems (SKTS). A customer self-service portal (Personal Account) handles billing and account management.

The business model is recurring-subscription driven, with monthly billing for both residential and corporate services, supplemented by a 1,500-ruble one-time connection fee and chargeable on-site technical support visits. Distribution is entirely direct: customers order via the website or by phone, with regional district representatives providing physical coverage in six Voronezh Oblast districts and free pre-connection technical surveys. Payment collection is integrated with Sberbank ATMs/Sberbank Online and Robokassa, with no third-party reseller or distributor channels. Regulatory protection is anchored by three active Russian telecom licenses (No. 145113 since 2016, No. 152570 since 2017, No. 145513 for telematic services).
