Ukrtelecom has provided a majority of WOG filing stations with Internet and VPN access. The next thing on the agenda is to provide over 20 offices of the Company with fiber optic lines

For over 5 year Ukrtelecom JSC successfully cooperates with WOG - one of the largest networks of filling stations that consists of about 500 filling stations throughout Ukraine. The Operator provides the Company with a wide range of telecommunications services, namely telephony, toll-free telephony, VPN (virtual private network) etc. In 2015, the companies have significantly expanded their cooperation. Ukrtelecom has connected 318 filling stations to VPN, and provided 310 WOG filling stations with Internet access. To implement the project the Operator used both copper and fiber optic communication lines.

'In 2015, the Ukrtelecom B2B team implemented several large-scale projects for various industries, investing in network development and new technologies. Our comprehensive and customized approach to customer needs allows us expand cooperation with existing B2B clients and attract new ones', Mykola Davydenko, Head of B2B of Ukrtelecom JSC emphasizes. 'WOG filling stations project will continue this year too. We are grateful to our partner for his trust and effective cooperation'.
