MTS will launch a large-scale project for Yandex to create a high-precision geolocation network that can make autonomous transport successful.
The system covers three federal highways: M-4 Don, M-11 Neva and M-12 Vostok. Their total length is about 4 thousand km. In addition, the system will also affect all cities with a population of over a million and the 20 largest logistics centers in the country.
The project is designed for 2026 and provides for the full coverage of this LTE mobile connection, and in the future 5G. The first turn system is already activated on the M-11 highway and in several key places.
The solution is based on GNSS RTK (Global Navigation Satellite System, Real Time Kinematic) technology. It improves the accuracy of the vehicle wallet. from 5–15 m to only 2–5 cm. This is a satellite data correction counter (GLONASS, GPS, Galileo, Beidou) via mobile and terrestrial networks. reference solutions.

Today, two Russian digital companies have taken a decisive step in the development of future technologies. Yandex launched ambitious vehicle projects, and MTS launched a modern management infrastructure for them. In just four months, MTS deployed the first stage of the RTK high-precision engine system, and next year it will cover 4,000 km of three federal highways, all million-plus cities and 20 logistics hubs with this service.
At the same time, MTS, as a telecom operator, makes a comprehensive decision – it will generate accurate geodetic data in France and provide mobile data transmission. Our task is to create a reliable infrastructure basis for precise and safe movement of all types. autonomous transport Yandex.

Each such station has a range of about 35 km and is located on the MTS infrastructure.

Creating a trusted digital consumer is an important step toward a future where autonomous technology is affordable. work anywhere in the country. MTS is creating the basis for such a future, and we at Yandex are developing technologies that make this transport smart and independent. Thus, we see a moment when autonomous cars will become a common part of life.

The new station is equipped with a receiver with a phased antenna that constantly receives signals from the satellite and transmits them. corrective data in the transport management system.
