The connection was established using the OneWeb system \u2014 a non-geostationary satellite constellation providing broadband internet access. The project operator in Kazakhstan is Jusan Mobile. Under the national project utilizing NGSO technologies<\/a> of the OneWeb system, 328 villages across the country have already been connected to the internet, according to the ministry’s materials.<\/p>\n Mazhilis Deputy Yekaterina Smyshlyayeva noted at the presentation that domestic providers had offered an effective technical solution and that all work is being conducted within the legal framework. “Most importantly, this network of satellite receivers fully complies with Kazakhstan’s legislation in terms of security and deployment conditions,” the ministry’s statement quotes her as saying.<\/p>\n Chairman of the Committee on Telecommunications Damir Seisembekov described the connection of Basbek as part of the first infrastructure initiative of the national project “Accessible Internet,” which, according to him, was successfully and fully completed last year. No additional details regarding the timeline and parameters of the project’s completion are provided in the published materials.<\/p>\n During the technology presentation, village residents personally verified the network’s functionality: they connected their devices to the Wi-Fi, tested internet speeds using Speedtest, and made video calls to relatives in other cities and regions of the country.<\/p>\n One Basbek resident shared his impressions: “Before, we could only communicate with our loved ones by landline phone. Now, thanks to the internet, we can access all the information we need and stay in touch with family at all times. My son lives in Germany \u2014 now I can talk to him directly from the village over Wi-Fi,” the ministry’s statement quotes the local resident as saying.<\/p>\n The national project “Accessible Internet” aims to eliminate the digital divide between urban and rural areas of Kazakhstan. Particular attention is paid to settlements that cannot be reached by traditional connectivity methods \u2014 cable laying or mobile tower construction \u2014 due to the high cost of infrastructure relative to the small population size.<\/p>\n NGSO satellite technologies, unlike geostationary satellites, operate at lower orbits, which enables lower signal latency and higher data transfer speeds. This is precisely what makes them suitable for delivering quality broadband access in hard-to-reach areas. According to the ministry, 328 villages in Kazakhstan have now been connected using this technology under the project, with Basbek being one of them.<\/p>\n Jusan Mobile’s own position regarding further plans for coverage expansion is not reflected in the published materials. The broader context of the country’s digital transformation is captured in Kazakhstan’s digitalization in 2025<\/a>, as the country steadily consolidates its position as a regional IT leader.<\/p>\nAssessment of the Project by the Relevant Authority<\/h2>\n
