MTSC has become the first company in the country to provide its own NB-IoT network coverage across all 118 district centers and other cities in Belarus. Today, Internet of Things technology covers approximately 16,000 settlements and 78% of the country's territory. Within a year, the number of base stations doubled and reached thousands.

The NB-IoT network creates the technological foundation for economic digitalization, the development of "smart" cities, and improving infrastructure management efficiency. This is an exclusive communication standard for data exchange between devices that enables connecting tens of thousands of sensors to a single base station, provides high penetration capability, and ensures secure encryption of data. The "smart" devices themselves can operate for up to 10 years without needing recharge.

Housing and Utilities: remote monitoring of water, heat, and gas readings, lighting management, waste container control.

Industry and Transport: equipment monitoring, logistics, cargo safety, fleet tracking.

Agriculture: microclimate in storage facilities, field machinery control, planting schedules, process automation in farms.

Security: autonomous alarm systems, leak and smoke detectors, video surveillance, security services.

Ecology: air quality monitoring in forests, harmful emissions around enterprises, and soil conditions.

"The expansion of NB-IoT lays the digital framework and becomes a driver for economic development, so we were the first to make the strategic decision to cover every region. The technology already helps automate housing and utilities, industry, transport, agriculture, and security. Ultimately, this infrastructure should become the basis for a new level of digitalization: cities and villages – more convenient, enterprises – safer and more efficient, people's lives – better. That is exactly what we see as the main contribution of the company," comments Nikolai Bulas, deputy general director for commercial affairs at MTSC.
