In Russia, cable radio will be revived amid internet shutdowns.
The Russian authorities have decided to develop a landline radio in the country against the backdrop of regular mobile internet outages. The Ministry for Digital Development has prepared the appropriate amendments to the communications industry development strategy, writes Izbastia. In the document, the department stated that the existing wired radio broadcasting networks in Russia provide not only the transmission of three mandatory radio programs, but also serve as a technological basis for warning systems and emergency information for the population. This is important in the context of "the continuation of a tense geopolitical situation for an unlimited period of time", the department emphasized.
Among the advantages of such a radio, the Ministry of Digital Development noted "targeted signal delivery", energy independence and a high degree of protection against cyber attacks. JSC Russian Broadcasting and Warning Networks (RSVO) added that in Moscow, St. Petersburg and annexed Sevastopol, wired broadcast networks were not only fully preserved, but also modernized "taking into account modern technologies and security requirements."
