MTS began to negotiate with developers to create Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure in houses under construction. The first partner of the telecom company in this direction was the Etalon group, which focuses on residential real estate in Moscow and the region.

One of the elements of the IoT infrastructure will be a system of seamless entry to the building  and staircase (residents will be able to open locks via Bluetooth from a smartphone), water and electricity meters connected to the Internet and intercoms, calls from which come to the user's smartphone. The cost of equipping one apartment building with such systems is not disclosed in MTS. According to the interlocutors of Vedomosti, it could be 150-300 million rubles (equivalent to $2-4 million) per building (depending on the number of apartments).
