MTS launches staff location app with NFC

Russian mobile operator MTS has launched the MTS Coordinator application for Android devices.

The application enables businesses to locate and track remote staff. Integrated with NFC technology, the app enables staff to register on arrival at a certain location over a NFC terminal.

MTS’ primary goal is to be the leading communications operator in Russia and the CIS, providing its customers with mobile and fixed telephony, high-speed Internet access at home and on the move, cable TV and the widest choice of legal content on the market.

In 2009, the Company moved beyond the simple mobile access horizontally and vertically, through the acquisition of Comstar-UTS, the rapid build-out of a proprietary distribution network and the launch of its first online content platform, Omlet.ru.
