Russian telecom operators

Russian telecom operator MTS has introduced a virtual secretary feature that answers missed calls using a synthetic copy of the subscriber's own voice. Coverage across Russian tech outlets highlights the AI voice-cloning capability, while MTS Exolve also announced expanded cloud infrastructure via colocation in MWS Cloud. Commentators are also weighing what 5G and 4G differences mean practically for regions like Bashkortostan, where MTS is a major provider.

Russian internet speeds are back in focus as the Digital Ministry prepares a telecom sector reform, including out-of-court licence revocation and a gigabit standard. Meanwhile, Russian Railways began testing satellite internet on trains, and Bureau 1440 unveiled a serial terminal for its homegrown satellite broadband system, promising up to 700 Mbit/s and operation at minus 40 degrees Celsius.
