SSTL’s MTS is now a part of the CDMA Development Group (CDG) thereby joining a consortium of 140 CDMA service providers, manufacturers, application developers and content providers.

Making the announcement, Mr. Vsevolod Rozanov, president and CEO of Sistema Shyam TeleServices Limited, said, “MTS India is currently launching CDMA2000 services very aggressively across different telecom circles of the country.  As a consortium of international CDMA service providers and manufacturers, CDG provides the right platform for MTS India to connect with the global CDMA community. We can share our experiences and also learn about new emerging technologies. Our participation in CDG also reinstates our long-term commitment to CDMA in India and ensures that the benefits of latest breakthroughs in CDMA technology can percolate through the diaspora of both the urban as well as the vastly untapped rural population of the nation.”

“The CDG is pleased to welcome MTS India as a member,” said Mr. Perry LaForge, Executive Director of the CDMA Development Group.  “MTS’s enthusiasm and leadership will play a critical and dynamic role in further promoting CDMA2000 in India.”
