Rostelecom, a publicly owned company headquartered in Russia, was founded in 1993. With approximately 5,280 employees, the company reported $10.5 billion in revenue as of 2025. Functioning primarily in telecoms, Rostelecom historically held a monopoly on domestic and international long-distance telephone services in Russia until market deregulation on January 1, 2006. The company currently carries over 10 billion domestic and over 4.8 billion international long-distance minutes of traffic. Its operations also encompass leased line services, intelligent network services, and customer equipment servicing.
Rostelecom's subsidiary T2 expanded its partnership with Russian Post on April 22, 2026, by initiating the sale of smartphones with SIM cards in Russian Post offices. The mobile operator is also testing the sale of smartwatches with SIMs in certain regions, with this cooperation covering more than 2,200 post offices across 60 regions. Earlier on the same day, Rostelecom completed testing DWDM equipment from Russian company LaserOne on its backbone network. The operator reported that the "Horizon" platform, tested on a 2,000-km network link, demonstrated stable operation at 100 Gbps and proved compatible with its existing infrastructure. This follows a report on April 18 from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), which cited Ukraine's Defense Ministry advisor Serhii "Flash" Beskrestnov stating that Russia's government orders batches of T2 SIM cards, which the operator directly supplies to Shahed drone producers for equipping long-range strike drones used against Ukraine.
