The Russian aerospace company Bureau 1440 (part of IKS Holding) will launch a pilot project in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug (NAO) in 2026 to provide communications using low-orbit satellites — a Russian analogue of Starlink. This was announced by Anton Lebedev, Head of the Department of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Communications of the NAO.
According to him, communication through low-orbit satellites will be many times cheaper than using satellites in geostationary orbit. He added that, in addition to the NAO, testing will take place in several other regions of the country.
We are working with several regions and representatives of regional authorities to provide communications where terrestrial networks are not available.
The cost of communication services via low-orbit satellites will be significantly lower, and the quality will be higher compared to traditional satellite communications in geostationary orbit, confirmed Sergey Pekhterev, shareholder of the KA-Internet satellite communications operator.
