MTS launched a special tariff “Telematics”

MTS presents a new corporate tariff “Telematics”, specially designed for data transfer between devices using GPRS, SMS, MMS or CSD.

“The Telematics tariff is the first step of MTS in the strategy of developing services based on the interaction of various technical devices using communication technologies. The segment of such services is one of the fastest growing segments of the mobile communication services market, as the development of technology and the increase in the coverage area of mobile networks contributes to the rapid development of services that provide round-the-clock inexpensive and effective communication between devices anywhere,” said MTS Vice President for Commercial questions Mikhail Gerchuk.

This tariff is intended for data transfer within the framework of:

Monitoring of transport and moving objects - receiving information about the location and route (freight transport, urban public transport, courier delivery, taxi, etc.) to the control panel;
Monitoring of technological systems - remote measurements of liquid (gas) flow, temperature, and other parameters of the technological environment.
Payment systems – transfer of transactions to the processing center from ATMs, POS terminals, street payment terminals, etc.;
Security systems – transmission of a signal and additional data (for example, coordinates) by pressing an alarm button, anti-theft systems, etc.

For whom is it created?

The tariff was developed for companies to make it easier to control devices; with it you can:
Monitor transport.
Use the panic button.
Monitor payments made through a mobile terminal.
Monitor the condition of industrial facilities.

Note! Since this tariff plan is special. offer for enterprises, individuals will have to check information with MTS employees to connect to it.

Detailed description

The tariff plan was specially designed for remote control of SIM cards. This service is in demand in all cases when it comes to corporate clients. In this case, a legal entity usually has many numbers registered, while some of them are connected to just one physical medium - a SIM card.

If you need to provide communications to a large company, then it makes sense to use M2M/IoT devices. This is due to the fact that communication uses technology that is different from conventional mobile devices. For example, the service is often in demand for cash register equipment - cash register equipment, as well as for the uninterrupted operation of video surveillance systems.

The main conditions for providing the tariff are:

The tariff plan works throughout the Russian Federation;
The transfer of all data is reliably protected;
Calculation accuracy up to 1 KB.

Along with this tariff, you can connect other useful options - “Secure data transfer” and “M2M manager”.

Subscribers are offered several service packages to choose from, which differ in traffic volume and cost:

5 MB – 36 rubles per month;
20 MB – 51 rubles per month;
40 MB – 71.50 rubles per month;
60 MB – 92.50 rubles per month;
100 MB – 122.50 rubles per month.

Using secure channels for data transmission, you can ensure:

Remote and secure work with corporate data packages, through different Internet connections and various devices that the enterprise has;
Security of transmitted information and full control of access to it;
Mobility of all equipment, as well as retail outlets and trained specialists.

“M2M Manager” is a kind of remote IoT platform for MTS, through which you can remotely manage SIM cards that work on different devices installed in the enterprise. Such a system significantly optimizes the collection and processing of incoming information.

When ordering complex services, the subscriber receives a ready-made optimized security system, for which there is no need to pay separately. That is why most often the Telematics tariff plan is activated simultaneously with a number of other useful options.

This tariff package is intended only for legal entities. This means that activation of services is not available to regular customers of the operator. But there are a number of other unique offers for individuals.

Application areas of M2M data transmission

Monitoring of transport and moving objects - receiving information about the location and route of the vehicle (freight transport, courier delivery, taxi, etc.) to the control panel;
Monitoring of pipeline systems - remote measurements of liquid (gas) flow, temperature, and other parameters of the process environment.
Payment systems – transfer of transactions to the processing center from ATMs, POS terminals, street payment terminals, etc.; Security – transmission of a signal and additional data (for example, coordinates) by pressing an alarm button, anti-theft systems, video surveillance, etc.

Communication between devices

A new tariff product from MTS, Telematics, is offered to legal entities that use telemetry in their activities. The service packages in the line will ensure uninterrupted high-quality communication between various technical devices:

payment terminals;
security alarm systems;
GPS navigation;
ATMs.

The tariff will be relevant for wireless transmission of information data in various industries:

motor transport;
housing and communal services;
trading;
agricultural;
banking

When the user is in a roaming zone, charging is carried out according to the tariffs in force in roaming. It is noteworthy that the volume of traffic included in the tariff is not used in this case.

Prospects for the development of M2M services in the world and in Russia. MTS strategy

The spread of mobile communications in the world and in Russia contributes to the rapid development of M2M services, as it provides an inexpensive and effective way of communication between devices within the coverage area of a cellular network. Today, almost any device equipped with a microprocessor can be connected to the network using a GSM module and exchange data with other devices or an information processing center via GPRS, SMS, CSD or MMS channels.

Assessing the global M2M market, experts cite the following figures: today there are about 100 million devices in the world that remotely transmit data to information processing centers. According to experts, the optimal way to transmit M2M data is through wireless networks. In addition to the obvious savings on cabling, wireless data transfer provides a significant reduction in the duration of sessions between devices: in a mobile network, the average duration of a data transfer session today is about 5 seconds. versus about 20 sec. for a public wired network. The predicted growth of the M2M market in the world, according to the agencies Future World Consultancy, RSA, Allied Business, Berg Insight, ABI Research, is 80-120% per year until 2012.

M2M services in Russia and the CIS countries today are at the initial stage of development. For example, according to our estimates, the number of M2M modules in the MTS network in the most developed market in this regard, in Moscow, today is less than one percent. subscriber base. At the same time, the Russian M2M market is growing rapidly, and MTS expects to become a leader in this promising market segment. The Telematics tariff is the first step of MTS in the development strategy of M2M services. Over the next five years, according to our conservative estimates, the number of users of MTS M2M services in Russia will exceed 3 million.

Setting up an alarm after installing remote control

First, be sure to register a new module: with the ignition off, press the Valet button seven times, then turn on the ignition. This will automatically start polling new modules and registering them in the alarm memory, after which a satellite icon will appear on the key fob screen, confirming that the telematic alarm functions are configured.

Next, let's start setting up the module. Use the voice interface - take the phone that is used as M1 (that is, as the phone with the highest priority in control and notifications), and call the SIM card number installed in the alarm. If the card is operational and the module has been registered, the voice control menu should be activated.

After the greeting, set two four-digit passwords - PW and PS. After this, the phone number from which the call was made will automatically be registered as M1, and a confirmation SMS will be sent to it. These passwords are needed for:

1. PW – sending commands from numbers registered as M2 and further, that is, not from the owner’s main number. 2. PS allows you to set a new M1 number if you decide to change it.

If you have connected an external GPS/GLONASS antenna to the alarm (we strongly recommend doing this, since the accuracy of determining the vehicle’s coordinates will increase significantly), then activate satellite geopositioning by sending an SMS with code 00492 to the alarm. If this is not done, then even if With the connected antenna, the coordinates are determined only by cellular network stations!

However, SMS and voice control are not as convenient as mobile applications and the StarLine Internet portal. Therefore, we will continue registration - use the login and password that are written on the card included in the kit, but it is much more convenient (and safer!) to create your own account.

Basic parameters of the “Telematics” tariff

* AP is absent if the subscriber has not connected the GPRS Internet traffic package. In this case, GPRS Internet traffic is paid at basic rates.

** When connecting to a GPRS Internet traffic package, an AP will be charged monthly for its renewal.

Package validity period: indefinitely, renewal on the 1st of every month. The subscription fee for the connected GPRS-Internet traffic package is debited on the 2nd day of each month in full. The monthly renewed connected package will be valid until it is changed or disconnected by the subscriber. The traffic included in the package can be spent within a calendar month; the unused balance of traffic is not carried over to the next month. If the paid traffic package ends before the end of the month or if the package is not connected, GPRS Internet traffic is paid per megabyte at the base rate.

All packages are mutually exclusive, i.e. Connecting a new package disables the previously connected one. When changing the package, a one-time charge is made for connecting the package in accordance with the tariff. When connecting, the package is credited in full, the balance of the previous package is added to the new package.

Conditions for new clients

All new subscribers of the operator are connected to the tariff package under the same conditions as old clients. The only difference is that they must first fill out a standard application on the operator’s official website. The application indicates the applicant's full name, company name, as well as addresses - regular and electronic. In addition, be sure to indicate a contact phone number.

Corporate subscribers should first find out the terms of the tariff through the contact center or virtual assistant. It is recommended to do this the first time you connect to the network. If you have any questions, you can ask them in the chat, specialists will contact the subscriber as soon as possible.

After completing an application on the website to connect to a corporate tariff, a specialist contacts the client within a few hours to confirm the operation.

It is worth remembering that all new clients cannot use corporate discounts. This is due to the fact that they are not participants in bonus and other programs.

Implemented projects based on the M2M data transfer service in the MTS network

In partnership with MTS, numerous projects have been implemented based on the M2M data transfer service in the MTS network. Among such projects are the following:

Moscow Metro, Zelenograd Automobile Plant - projects for monitoring corporate vehicles based on MTS mobile technologies have been implemented. Monitoring systems use GSM communication with moving objects equipped with mobile terminals. A mobile terminal with a GPS receiver is installed on vehicles, which allows you to determine the location of an object relative to several satellites in geostationary orbits and calculate its exact geographical coordinates (up to several meters). At specified intervals, the mobile terminal of each vehicle transmits information to the dispatch center via GPRS or MTS SMS channel. For the operation of these systems, MTS provides transport infrastructure, i.e. their communication networks. The MTS technologies used exclude unauthorized access to the stream of transmitted data. Through the use of vehicle monitoring technologies, the Zelenograd Automobile Plant, for example, managed to reduce non-production vehicle miles and fuel and lubricant consumption by 5%, thereby reducing costs by 6.1 million rubles. in year.

Application connection features

The cellular app is not only easy to use, but also easy to connect to.

A prerequisite that will give prompt access to using the application is the process of activating one of the operator’s services – “Telematics 20, 40, 70, 100, 150, 200”. The minimum amount of the advance payment is equal to the amount of the monthly tariff paid for one of the services.

Several more options are offered free of charge.

Incoming call service;
receiving SMS messages and MMS notifications;
use mobile assistant;
exploit international access;
be in international roaming mode;
forward certain calls;
be in call waiting mode;
transfer data to one number;
use the “mobile office” service;
voluntarily use blocking;
call emergency numbers.

MOEK project in the field of monitoring energy consumption in Moscow

In November 2009, MTS and the Moscow United Energy Company (MOEK) launched a project in the capital region to ensure control of energy consumption as part of a joint project in the field of monitoring energy consumption in Moscow. This is the largest project in the capital in the field of monitoring energy consumption.

The transmission of data on energy consumption within the framework of an automated monitoring system, as well as the security of data transmission is ensured by MTS. MTS SIM cards are installed in energy consumption meters, which ensure continuous transmission of information to the server of the Central Energy Accounting System of MOEK.

The transmission of information via MTS communication channels occurs almost instantly, so the counting is carried out with the highest possible accuracy. More accurate online calculations of energy consumption allow for optimal planning of energy supplies, which means improving energy savings, reducing losses and saving fuel. For Moscow residents, this means an improvement in the environmental situation in the city and a reduction in energy costs.

According to experts, the introduction of an automated system for technical accounting of energy resources can reduce energy consumption by up to 10%.
