Last updated on: August 22, 2012 13:17 IST


Amid uncertainty about the future of its operations, Sistema Shyam TeleServices (SSTL) on Wednesday expanded its handset portfolio with the launch of three new Android-based smartphones.

SSTL, whose 21 licences are among those cancelled by the Supreme Court in the 2G spectrum case, offers CDMA telephony services under the MTS brand name.

The company's licences are valid till September 7 and to continue its operations, it will have to participate in auctions to secure fresh licences.
