He advanced up to become a leading electrical communications engineer, chief of the marketing and promotion department, and executive director. On April 25, 2002, he was made deputy General Director and head of the Science and Engineering Department of OAO MGTS. ZAO Sky Link was established in June 2003 to implement a project to deploy a federal mobile communications network in the IMT-MC-450 (CDMA 2000 1?) standard. It was founded by several telecoms companies, including the Russian Telecommunication Development Corporation (RTDC Corp.).
