IN 2005 CORDLESS INTERNET NETWORK TO BE EXTENTDED IN ARMENIA

YEREVAN, January 7 (Noyan Tapan). In 2005 the Unicomp company will
carry out activity aimed at extension of cordless Internet network in
Armenia. Armen Baldrian, Director General of the company, informed a
Noyan Tapan correspondent that according to the bill worked out by the
RA Ministry of Transport and Communications, one may already make use
of this sphere without a licence. According to A.Baldrian, the sphere
of information technologies is developing very quickly in Armenia but
the state assistance is late. Armenia is first to begin implementation
of new projects but the neighbouring countries finish them earlier. In
this respect, according to A.Baldrian, the companies of the sphere
should be united, should be able to struggle for solution of common
problems. He mentioned that non-execution of laws remains the main
obstacle. The Unicomp CJSC was founded in 1996 on the basis of the
Nairi-91 computer firm. This is the first Armenian computer company
that received the ISO:9001 quality management certificate. The main
directions of activity of Unicomp are programming, assemblying of
computers, projecting and installation of computer networks. The
company was first in Armenia to begin production of notebooks.

According to the director, at present the company realizes 25 such
computers a month, which makes 50-60% of home market. He mentioned
that in case of sale of 100 notebooks a month they will be exported.
