The using of Yamal satellite system will help to provide citizens of the remote areas in Yakutia with the modern and high-quality communications, as per the website of Egor Borisov, President of the Republic of Yakutia.

As the website reports: during the meeting with Valery Golubev, Deputy Chairman of the Management Committee of Gazprom, Egor Borisov proposed to consider the possibility to allocate to the Republic some part of Yamal-401 satellite capacity owned by the operator Gazprom Space Systems.

Now about 70% of the Republic’s settlements have an access to the communications via Express-АМ3 and Express-АМ33 satellites, but these satellites do not have technical capabilities enough to provide citizens of the remote areas with modern communication services.

As the same source notes: following the results of the meeting it was decided to prepare a supplementary agreement to the current Cooperation Agreement between Yakutia and Gazprom about using Yamal Satellite Communication and Broadcasting System to provide the region with the high quality satellite communications.
