InteRussia Fellows in Wireless Technologies Visit Aquarius

Engineering
On September 9, our wireless technologies fellows dove headfirst into the innovative world of Aquarius, a leader in the production of domestic computing equipment and IT solutions for businesses and government agencies.

Founded in 1989, Aquarius has grown to become a cornerstone of Russia's electronics industry. This tech giant isn't just talking about innovation — they're living it. With production facilities capable of churning out over 2.5 million high-tech devices annually, Aquarius stands as one of the largest domestic IT manufacturers in Russia. They handle it all in-house: from computer hardware and system boards to electronic modules and software-hardware complexes.

During the visit, our tech-savvy fellows didn't just observe — they immersed themselves in the Aquarius experience:

  • explored server rooms that looked like sci-fi movie sets;
  • tried their hand at coding switch settings under expert guidance;
  • disassembled a compact server;
  • learned how Aquarius is revolutionizing the industry by embracing domestic and friendly-nation components.

The InteRussia fellowship programme in wireless technologies is implemented by ANO "Mezhdunarodniki" in collaboration with the Gorchakov Fund and the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology, with grant support from the Presidential Grants Fund.
