Our team has invested maximum effort and a significant portion of the company's profits in this project. The main focus is to ensure an uninterrupted power supply.
Our specialists conducted a detailed audit of the network, identifying possible problems with the equipment, and provided real-time monitoring of all sites for the availability of power. Batteries were replaced at all the base nodes, each of which is subject to constant round-the-clock monitoring, and service teams working 24/7 promptly replaced discharged batteries if it was necessary.
Critical nodes were reserved using CWDM technology, which ensured uninterrupted operation of the main sites. We also replaced switches with modernized ones with an uninterruptible power supply.
Despite all the challenges, we continue to expand the network. New business centers and residential complexes are being connected. In total, we have built 17 BC and around 10,000 households.
In the summer, the team of DC|COSMONOVA took part in a large-scale conference in Ukraine, iForum2023.

We had ambitious plans in all areas for 2022. The year was supposed to be a year of growth and implementation of large-scale projects with a lot of preparation having gone into it but on February 24, 2022, a full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into the territory of Ukraine began, which changed our plans.
We have not stopped work for a moment since the beginning of the invasion. Some joined the armed forces to defend our country, some worked remotely, some left their city or country. Some worked from a bomb shelter, and some would stay at the office for several days to maintain the network and ensure the operation of the data center. Throughout the year, our employees connected new customers, as well as provided Internet connection to the military. We became one of the first providers who started connecting bomb shelters, and over time along with other providers joined the city project "Installing the Internet in shelters" that was implemented by the Department of Information and Communication Technologies of the Kyiv City State Administration. By the end of 2022, more than 125 shelters located in business centers and residential complexes have been connected to the Internet.

The level of satisfaction with the Internet provision from Kolo.TV increased by 14% and amounted to 74.9% with the NPS B2B indicator being 69.1%.
In November, we launched the "Continuity" project aimed at uninterrupted operation of the network amid rolling and emergency shutdowns. Since the beginning of the project, we have started to change the batteries at the sites - intermediate nodes, towork with the owners of business centers to ensure additional power supply for our equipment with generators belonging to the business centers or our customers at the locations. We have replaces batteries on all base nodes and our service crews replacing discharged batteries whenever needed, 24/7. The most critical nodes are reserved using CWDM technology - direct fiber from our core - which allows the operation of critical and core sites to continue without power to the switch. We continue replacing switches with modernize ones that have an uninterrupted power sources in business centers and residential complexes.
COSMONOVA|NET took part in setting up Internet communication for "Points of Invincibility" in accordance with the Law of Ukraine "On Electronic Communications" and the decision of the National Security and Defense Council of November 26m 2022 No. 802/2022 "On providing electronic communication services under martial law".
