2025: Product Announcement
The Russian satellite communication terminal "Gonets" was presented on March 6, 2025. The compact device, developed by Gonets Satellite System JSC (part of Roscosmos), is designed to transmit data through the satellite system of the same name. The terminal can be installed on various modes of transport, including unmanned aerial vehicles. According to the developers, this is the smallest satellite modem among domestic solutions.
According to the press service of Satellite System Gonets JSC, the new modem completely excludes the use of components from unfriendly countries, which ensures the stability and scalability of the supply of subscriber equipment. The device contains electronic components available on the Russian market, which avoids the need for parallel imports, delays and additional costs.
Andrey Manoilo, General Director of Gonets Satellite System JSC, stressed that the modem has ultra-small dimensions - 52×62×10 mm and a weight of less than 100 g, which corresponds to the level of world manufacturers of modem satellite equipment in the case version. Also, the developers managed to radically reduce the power consumption of the device: in standby mode, the new modem consumes 10 times less power than the previous model.
The device has successfully passed mandatory certification, and in the near future it is planned to start mass production. The characteristics of the new modem will allow the Gonets system to provide satellite communication channels in new segments, including unmanned aerial vehicles of various types.
The use of satellite channels on UAVs is a new direction of application of mobile satellite communications worldwide. Russia The active development of this direction began in July 2024, when coordinates from the company's drone "" were successfully transferred through the Gonets satellite system for the first time and Geoscan a flight track was obtained. A return command was also transmitted to the UAV through the "Messenger" grouping, which was successfully executed by the device.[1]
