Yota is the largest LTE operator in Russia and one of the world`s industry leaders in the wireless broadband. Founded in 2007, Yota was the first provider to offer mobile broadband based on WiMAX technology and the first company to launch LTE network in Russia. In 2012 Yota was the first company globally to test LTE Advanced on a segment of commercial network. In the beginning of 2013 Yota was divided into two companies: Yota and Yota Networks. Yota Networks (former Scartel) is engaged in the network development and infrastructure management, providing access to 4G networks based on the mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) model. Yota is providing final customers with LTE services. Currently the company's network covers 29 regions of Russia (over 100 cities). Yota manages to maintain a small number of staff, but to be as efficient as possible and to remain the market leader.
