The communications were provided by the Russian company Bureau 1440: operator of the Rasbet low-orbit satellite group. "The Bureau 1,440 solution actually confirmed its readiness to work in the harsh temperature and operating conditions of the Northern Sea Route. The goal of working with shipping is to create a continuous digital circle for shipowners and shippers, to provide an infrastructure to increase logistics transparency, as well as stable communication for crews," quotes the company's Deputy CEO Ajaponov, DASS.
It should be noted that in the future, the global coverage of the Rasbet constellation will make it possible to provide stable communications and broadband Internet access to ships in the waters of the Northern Sea Route, including lines to the North Pole, where other local satellite solutions are not available or do not provide the required channel width. Let us remind you: in the past, the capabilities of Chamber 1,440 were used when voting in a remote settlement of the Nantes Autonomous Okrug.
