We present results of spectral and timing analysis of the fast X-ray transient XTE J1901+014 based on data of the RXTE and INTEGRAL observatories .
With the INTEGRAL/ISGRI the source was detected at a significance level of 20 \sigma with the persistent flux of \sim 2.7 mCrab in a 17-100 keV energy band in 2003-2004 ( during long observations of the Sagittarius arm region ) .
We added the RXTE/PCA ( 3-20 keV ) data obtained in 1998 to the INTEGRAL/ISGRI data to build the broadband spectrum of the source in a quiescent state .
It was found that the spectrum can be well approximated by a simple powerlaw with a photon index of \sim 2.15 .
From timing analysis we found short time scale aperiodic variations which can be connected with instabilities in the accretion flow .
