Aircrafts, trains and buses will be provided with satellite communications in Russia

Buses, sea vessels, long-distance trains and other mobile objects will be provided with satellite communications.

The Express-RV system is developed to provide communications and broadcasting in hard-to-reach regions of the country, as well as reliable high-speed communications and the Internet throughout the entire Arctic zone, including Northern Sea Route. 

The Marathon IoT satellite system will provide Internet of Things services. The multi-satellite system will provide a range of navigation services for all categories of consumers of satellite Internet of Things services, as well as provide the possibility of introducing unmanned and robotic systems in transport. The Marathon IoT constellation will include 264 satellites placed in 12 orbital planes at an altitude of about 750 km. The first satellite will be launched in 2024.

High-speed Internet all over Russia

By 2030, high-speed Internet access and high-definition television in 8K format will be provided using new satellites in geostationary orbit, the White Paper says.

The document says that by 2030 it is planned to provide access to high-speed Internet to sparsely populated areas of Russia (where the population is up to 250 people), as well as satellite communications and broadcasting of part of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation.

Satellite system "Skif"

Thanks to the Skif system, high-speed Internet access will be organized for air, sea, river and land transport, as well as a number of related technological tasks, such as the Internet of things and the interaction between electronic devices and machines.

The multi-satellite system for providing broadband Internet access "Skif" will be created on the basis of 12 small satellites. they will operate in an orbit at an altitude of 8,070 km. The launch of the demonstrator is scheduled for September 2022.
