During the Satcomrus-2022 conference, Alexey Volin, Director General of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Space Communications", stated that the refusal of foreign companies to work with Russian consumers has led to an increase in the load on the satellite constellation. RSCC has transferred customer service from foreign satellites to its own spacecraft, with a total capacity of more than 1500 MHz.

many foreign satellitenew zealand cell phone number list operators refused to provide services to Russian consumers. This was followed by a collapse in payments to foreign partners. Then, payload manufacturers stopped cooperating with Russian companies. Then, suppliers of ground equipment stopped servicing already operating ground systems, and Russian companies were denied participation in foreign exhibitions and conferences.
, which consisted of two trends. First, a large number of satellite operators admitted that their main clients are law enforcement and government agencies. Which once again showed that there is no such thing as purely commercial space. Second, we saw a rapidly developing process of consolidation and enlargement of players. And it was not small market players that were joining, but giants, creating a completely new landscape in the satellite communications market," he said.

According to him, as a result, the market faced three challenges. "Sanctions, refusal to cooperate, consolidation and enlargement of players, increased state support for foreign competitors and their direct involvement in the conflict in Ukraine. Despite the fact that in Russia a clear division between military and peaceful space has been preserved. The Russian space industry has given a worthy response to all these challenges. The refusal of foreign companies to work with Russian consumers has led to an increase in the workload of the satellite RSCC," noted Alexey Volin.

According to him, the State Enterprise KS transferred networks with a capacity of over 1500 MHz from foreign satellites to its spacecraft. "Interest has grown on the part of a number of foreign users from Latin America, Africa, and Asia. The fact that a Western company can refuse to provide services at any moment affects reliability and stability. Today, we have to think not about how to load our devices, but where to get free capacity for the increased demand," he said.
