Rosatom buys a stake in the satellite operator Amtel

Management remains the same, Rosatom does not plan to deal with operational management. It is noted that the acquisition of a stake in Amtel marked the beginning of Rosatom's creation of its own telecommunications infrastructure, which will solve industry problems in providing Internet access to remote sites, including nuclear construction sites.

We are faced with the tasks of developing the Arctic and the Northern Sea Route, and it is simply impossible to develop shipping and increase cargo traffic without communication. Satellite communications are a fundamental element of infrastructure in the Arctic and northern seas... Rosatom will promote these services and create the necessary infrastructure. We are already working on scenarios for building a single universal infrastructure beyond the Arctic Circle and are consulting with the Russian government on the development of this project, "the press service of the first deputy general director of Rosatom Kirill Komarov quotes.
