Real situations we solve every day across the Mongolian capital
Carrying a laptop from a heated apartment into -30°C winter air and back again causes internal condensation and drains lithium batteries far faster than normal. We check battery health, thermal settings and advise on acclimatization so devices survive the cold snap.
Coal-heating season pushes fine particulate pollution into every gap in a laptop chassis, and spring Gobi dust storms add grit on top, clogging vents and fans until devices overheat and throttle. We run software-side fan and thermal diagnostics before hardware repair becomes necessary.
Engineers and contractors flying between Ulaanbaatar and the Oyu Tolgoi site 550km south in the Gobi often log into Rio Tinto's VPN and rotation/timesheet portals from a different device or network each swing, which frequently triggers lockouts or certificate errors. We walk you through re-authentication so you're not burning changeover time on a support ticket.
Khan Bank, TDB and Golomt Bank apps, along with international remittance apps, routinely flag or block logins and two-factor codes when they see a Mongolian IP address on an expat account. We help you complete verification steps and set a stable device path so it stops happening.
When Mobicom, Unitel or Skytel fiber degrades during a cold snap or smog-heavy stretch, switching to 4G/LTE or to G-Mobile's newly-launched Starlink service means reconfiguring network profiles and VPN routes. We set up a failover that keeps you working through the switch.
During the deepest cold snaps, grid strain from heating demand can cause brief outages and voltage fluctuations, particularly on the city's periphery, which degrade chargers and laptop batteries over time. We check adapter and battery health and recommend surge protection.
Wherever you are — we’re already there remotely. Optimized for Mobicom, Unitel and Skytel.
A fast-growing luxury residential area south of the centre, popular with expats for its fresher air and newer housing.
Home to foreign embassies and luxury residences like the Olympic, Regency and Embassy Residences, with a busy restaurant and bar strip.
The central district around Sukhbaatar Square, with government buildings, offices and the historic city core.
The southern district that includes Zaisan and the Chinggis Khaan International Airport corridor.
Ulaanbaatar's most populous district, on the city's eastern side, with a mix of apartment blocks and ger districts.
A central-western district with a large share of the city's older Soviet-era apartment housing and light industry.
A large western district spanning both newer apartment developments and outlying ger-district neighbourhoods.
Built for the people working from anywhere
We specialize in supporting Rio Tinto/Oyu Tolgoi mining engineers and contractors rotating between the South Gobi site and Ulaanbaatar, NGO and development-agency staff (World Bank, UNDP, USAID and dozens of smaller organizations maintain offices here), diplomatic and embassy personnel based near Seoul Street, and mining supply-chain contractors and small business owners — based in Ulaanbaatar or rotating through — and anyone running their work-life from a laptop that cannot afford downtime in the world's coldest capital. Same Canadian standards as our parent IT Cares Canada, fully remote delivery.
Ulaanbaatar runs on Mongolia Standard Time (UTC+8) year-round — Mongolia hasn't observed daylight saving since 2016, so the offset never changes (Mongolia's far-western provinces run on a separate UTC+7 zone, but Ulaanbaatar itself stays on UTC+8). Coal-fired power plants keep the grid generally stable, but the deepest winter cold snaps strain heating demand and can cause brief outages or voltage fluctuations, particularly in the ger districts on the city's periphery.
