6 units of Zenith anti-hail systems were installed and tested in
Karakert, Vanand and Tsakhalanj villages of Armavir region this year
through AMD 44mln financial assistance of VivaCell-MTS, a subsidiary
of Mobile TeleSystems OJSC.
VivaCell-MTS has been implementing this project since 2008. In two
years, 9 remote control Zenith anti-hail stations were installed
in Shenik, Aygeshat, Berkashat and Shenavan villages of Armavir
marz. The stations have proved to be 100% efficient. Besides support
in installing anti-hail stations, VivaCell-MTS also provides access
to its major competitive advantage - wider 3G and GPRS/EDGE coverage
- to be used for agricultural purposes. The installed equipment is
operated by remote control order based on VivaCell-MTS network.
"Agriculture is the most vulnerable sphere of economy, where the output
of hard work and considerable investment - crops - can be swept away
mercilessly by nature just in several minutes. We should acknowledge
that each of us is affected by this problem as this is a huge loss
caused to the national economy. The diverse programs carried out by
VivaCell-MTS stem from this approach. And ultimately, all what we are
doing is aimed at creating conditions for better quality of life in
our Homeland," commented VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian.
Zenith anti-hail stations have been fully developed and produced by
Barva Innovative Center that uses local intellectual and production
resources, the press service of VivaCell-MTS reported.
