Intersputnik and RSCC signed an Agreement on Cooperation in Using Frequency Assignments in the Geostationary Orbit and Other Satellite Orbits for the Implementation of the Project on the Joint Use of Satellite Capacity.

RSCC is one of the 25 national Signatories of Intersputnik, which unites 26 member countries from Europe, Asia, Latin America and South-East Asia. Offering access to the satellite resources of the Russian constellation practically on all continents, RSCC is interested in providing global service to its customers. Appointed at the end of last month, RSCC Director General Alexey Volin noted that the signed Agreement “offers a new cost-effective solution to RSCC customers willing to have a single entry point for communications services in any region of the world. It is a well-known fact, that no operator has got 100% coverage of the globe or solid competences in non-geostationary telecommunications systems. The Agreement gives us an opportunity to participate in using the orbit and frequency resource according to the model commonly known as VNO. Cooperation under this model allows avoiding substantial capital investment otherwise required to set up and maintain a satellite network for narrow and new market segments and, at the same time, broadens the service capabilities of RSCC as an all-purpose satellite operator.”
