The MTS-BNG software and hardware complex received a compliance certificate in the field of communications in early 2025. The operator is preparing for the large-scale implementation and launch of routers in various regions of Russia. The devices will be used to control and aggregate user traffic of the fixed Internet.

Viktor Perov, Director of the Department of Regional Transport and Networks of Corporate Clients of MTS, noted that such equipment is most difficult to find a replacement, since it requires a little on the network, and the supply on the market is limited. The company decided to create the device on its own, gathering a strong expert team of its own and attracted specialists.

The idea was taken as a basis with writing software that can be installed on any available x86 server equipment so as not to be tied to a specific hardware supplier. The MTS technical unit completed the development of software substitutes for routers by the end of 2024.

Test and commercial operation was carried out in four regions of Russia - Amur, Belgorod, Nizhny Novgorod and Chelyabinsk. The routers successfully took over the commercial traffic of the pilot regions and showed compliance with the quality of service requirements.^[1]
