City Phone Reimagined: Moscow Unveils First Russian IP Phone "MosTech"

The device features a color screen, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and HD audio support

The Moscow Department of Information Technology presented the first domestic IP phone "MosTech" at the CIPR-2026 conference. The device is a new product in the capital's brand line, under which the city, together with partners, already produces laptops, all-in-one PCs, and interactive panels.

The DIT noted that over 180,000 "MosTech" devices are already in use in Moscow government agencies and subordinate institutions. They run on their own operating system and come with the "MosTech.Office" office suite. According to Alexey Anisimov, Deputy Head of the Moscow DIT, the introduction of IP phones should be the next step towards creating a unified digital workplace for city employees.

The new device is designed for more than just regular calls. The IP phone supports up to 20 simultaneous calls and multi-party conferences, allowing for short meetings without a separate connection to a video conferencing system. The device features a large color screen with an adjustable tilt angle, displaying active numbers, incoming calls, and missed calls.

Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are built into the phone. The former allows connecting a wireless headset for hands-free operation, while the latter enables connection to the corporate network without an Ethernet cable. HD audio support is also claimed for both the handset and speakerphone: according to DIT, conversations can be held even from approximately two meters away from the device.

The phone supports four SIP lines, so one device can work with several numbers simultaneously. This scenario can be convenient for managers, secretaries, hotline staff, and specialists responsible for multiple areas. The phonebook can store up to 2,000 contacts.

In addition to the IP phone, the Moscow government's stand at CIPR in Nizhny Novgorod showcased "MosTech" laptops and all-in-one PCs. They run on "MosTech.OS", based on the Linux kernel and open-source software. The DIT emphasizes that using proprietary solutions reduces dependence on third-party vendors and helps protect workflows from blocking and malicious software.
