The Russian Satellite Communications Company (RSCC) plans to start offering broadband internet services from this summer, employing leased capacity on Eutelsat Ka-Sat 9A, operated by the Eutelsat daughter company Skylogic.
The news was given by Evgenyi Buydinov, deputy DG for innovation at RSCC, and quoted by AKTR and ComNews.
He added that this follows the signing of a contract with Eutelsat for capacity on four transponders on the satellite covering the European part of Russia.
Buydinov also said that similar broadband services in the Ka-band would in due course be provided by the RSCC on the Express-AM5 and Express-AM6 satellites.
