Yota is a telecommunications operator focused on mobile broadband and LTE services in Russia. It operates the country's most extensive LTE network and is a prominent player in wireless broadband. Founded in 2007, Yota was an early pioneer in mobile broadband and was the first in the country to deploy LTE; in 2012 it conducted the first global test of LTE Advanced on a commercial network. In early 2013 the business split into two entities, with Yota serving end users and Yota Networks handling network development and MVNO access. Today, its network reaches 29 regions and more than 100 cities. Headquartered in Saint Petersburg, Russia, the company maintains a relatively lean staff while serving individual mobile users seeking reliable LTE-based broadband.
