MTS launched eSIM technology for Internet of Things (IoT) devices and machine-to-machine (M2M) communication in line with the international GSMA standard. This technology enables remote downloading of virtual SIM cards onto chips embedded in equipment, allowing for easy profile changes.
In 2021, MTS President Vyacheslav Nikolaev was elected to the GSMA Board, which consists of 25 representatives from the world's largest operator groups and regional operators.
