Low-orbit communication satellites will be launched in Russia by 2028. This will make it possible to connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi on board airplanes and trains. This was announced by the Minister of Digital Development of the Russian Federation, Maksut Shadayev.
According to Shadayev, the first group of communication satellites will be launched in two years. It is planned to launch 737 communication satellites by 2030.
In order to ensure that passengers of airplanes and trains are not left without communication en route, Aeroflot, Russian Railways and Bureau 1440 (part of ICS Holding, providing broadband Internet access services) signed a tripartite agreement providing for the creation of a group of low-orbit satellites.
The document states that the Bureau 1440 subscriber terminal will be installed on trains and on board aircraft. It will provide a communication channel with the satellite, and passengers will be able to connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi.
It is known that several test spacecraft " рассвет-1" have already been launched into Earth orbit.
Earlier www1.ru reported that a Thuraya Skyphone satellite smartphone will work in Russia.
