Abylay Ospan is CEO of NetUP, Inc., a Russian company that develops hardware and software. He founded the company with his friends and colleagues—all tech guys who are passionate about writing software for the ISP market. As Russia integrates into using the Internet, the company is developing many new software products. Currently, one of its most popular software platforms, UTM Billing System for ISPs, has been created for billing, authorization, accounting and user management. The UTM Billing System is very popular in Russia. There are approximately 2000 installations in Russia as well as in other countries.
Abylay Ospan divides his time between the United States and Russia, where he spends the winter in Miami and summer in Moscow. He was born in the city of Karaganda, formerly in the USSR and now called Kazakhstan, and later moved to the Arkalyk, a city that was at the heart of the Soviet Space Program and the test landing site for Cosmonauts. Abylay loves living the United States and thinks it is the greatest country in the world. He has observed a lot of smart things here. People are doing amazing things in social media, in entertainment and in every field and aspect of technology.
He describes American consumers as experienced, savvy and desiring the products that are perfect and never less than high quality.
He notes that the business climate in Russia is more conservative and that the development of new products and services is done at a slower pace. In Russia, there are many challenges hampering the introduction of new ideas and an entrepreneur’s ability to bring new products to market. In the United States, people want to see new things because it’s a progressive and forward-thinking culture. Abylay’s inventor mindset makes him open to new possibilities. “It’s all about progress,” he says.
NetUP Inc. focuses on the professional market for ISPs, especially broadcasting companies and hotel chains. A new product, Joker TV, is for the consumer market. In addition to Joker TV, Abylay and his team are developing more gadgets for the consumer market and will soon make an announcement for the launch of a new product.
