With the aim of offering high-speed internet to the population, Russia is working on a new satellite system that could compete with SpaceX’s American Starlink.

According to recent information, Russia has already begun work on its own satellite system. In this regard, “the head of the state-owned corporation Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, announced the start of the mass deployment of a constellation of satellites in low Earth orbit that will provide broadband internet in the coming months.”

This is a joint initiative between a private company and Roscosmos, and, according to Rogozin, it will offer customers services “exactly analogous to those already standardized in the global market, guaranteeing high-speed internet access anywhere on the planet, even in the most remote and hard-to-reach regions.”

The project will be implemented in two phases: the first, starting in December of this year, will include the launch of 300 satellites; and the second will add another 900 satellites to the constellation.

It is important to note that in-orbit tests have yielded satisfactory results, and the prototype satellites have been refined. The Russian government plans to launch the satellites in batches of 16 per launch vehicle, with an estimation of two years to complete the deployment.

Orange has signed an agreement with the nanosatellite company OneWeb to promote connectivity with this technology in remote areas in Europe, Latin America and Africa.

The distribution agreement will allow Orange to integrate the OneWeb service with its corporate clients or other telecommunications operators in different regions of the world, according to a statement from the French group.

The Orange agreement joins the growing framework of alliances between the satellite industry and telecommunications operators, since, for example, Vodafone announced at the Mobile World Congress the launch of different pilot projects this summer to test the services of connectivity of the company AST SpaceMobile in Spain.

For its part, Telefónica has agreements with OneWeb itself and more recently it allied with the Spanish Sateliot to provide IoT 5G connectivity services via satellite by integrating the future network of the company into that of Telefónica Tech.

The companies TIM Brasil, a subsidiary of the TIM group telecommunications company, and Intersat, the largest operator of the integrated terrestrial and satellite network in the world, are working on expanding the “Sky Coverage service” project and incorporating new points in the northern region of Brazil in order to deploy 4G technology in the most remote areas of the country.

One of the objectives of the project is to develop coverage, which has more than 1,000 sites, to offer connectivity in a “sustainable way and without a network to the most remote areas of Brazil, where there is a lack of electricity network infrastructure.”

With the execution of the project, the companies expect to deploy the technology in all the municipalities of the Brazilian country by 2023. Sky Coverage will provide coverage to “neighborhoods, towns, highways and resorts, also using the satellite connection in remote areas”, expanding the reach of the networks with greater speed than the terrestrial ones.

In addition, they aspire to increase connectivity for the agribusiness sector, mainly for equipment and investments in the Internet of Things (IoT).

Digital inclusion in Brazil

The Director of Networks for TIM Brazil, Marco Di Costanzo, explained the importance of expanding 4G technology in Brazil, which will allow all areas of the country to be included in the digital world.

“Today we have the largest satellite backhaul in Latin America to support the expansion of 4G from north to south of the country. We want to accompany Brazil in digital inclusion with the Sky Coverage project and for that we have important partners, such as Intelsat, with whom we work especially in the northern region”, Di Costanzo highlighted.

For his part, Ricardo La Guardia, Regional Vice President of Intelsat, pointed out: “The reliability of the Intelsat network and its great coverage will allow TIM to provide higher quality services to its clients in these regions of difficult access and connectivity, in order to comply with the business objectives of the company and respecting its environmental, social and governance initiatives.”

He recalled that the company is responsible for “cellular backhaul in countries around the world, with fully managed solutions such as CellBackhaul in Europe, DRC, the United States and Japan.”

Brazil will bring the internet to the Amazon. Fabio Faria, Minister of Communications of Brazil and Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX, analyzed, in the North American city of Austin, an agreement that will allow to provide internet to remote areas of the Amazon with the Starlink satellite system.

According to what was expressed by Faria, in a statement issued by the government entity, the purpose is “to bring internet to rural areas and remote places“, through the Starlink system. It allows access to broadband internet through small antennas that are easily installed in difficult access areas traditional providers cannot reach.

For his part, the US businessman, Elon Musk, assured that they are “eager to be able to provide connectivity to the less connected.”

The Communications Minister also indicated that through this system they will be able to control and monitor the illegal logging and burning of forests in the Amazon region.
