Bureau 1440 Unveils Satellite Internet Terminals Reaching 700 Mbps for Industrial and Rail Use

Bureau 1440 presented three satellite terminal models at the Digital Solutions forum in Russia. The 1440 ULTRA model supports data speeds up to 700 Mbps and is designed for remote industrial sites and infrastructure, operating both stationary and in motion. The company reduced the terminal's weight by 30 percent while maintaining 600 by 600 mm dimensions and adding IP67 dust and water protection. The 1440 ZEMLYA variant is already undergoing tests on Russian Railways trains, including Lastochka and Sapsan services, and is rated for operation at speeds up to 400 km/h. A compact 1440 MINI concept aims for around 100 Mbps in a 300 by 300 mm portable form factor intended for rescue teams and expeditions. All models are being developed alongside the company's low-orbit satellite constellation, with test connections already active on rail lines and in remote settlements. Sales have not yet begun, and the company will announce availability separately while noting that maximum speeds are not guaranteed in every environment.

Russia's Rassvet LEO Satellite System Enters Real-World Testing Phase

The Russian low-orbit satellite constellation Rassvet has moved from laboratory development into active field trials with real consumers across multiple regions. Bureau 1440, part of IKS Holding, has begun delivering satellite internet services and installed the first user terminal on a long-distance Russian Railways train. CEO Alexey Shelobkov stated that the project advanced to service validation in 2026, ahead of schedule, and will now test performance over large territories and in motion. The initiative aims to provide high-speed connectivity to remote areas, reduce the digital divide, and create an independent Russian hybrid communications system. Shelobkov emphasized that Rassvet is not merely a response to Starlink but a strategic necessity for sovereign infrastructure free from foreign hardware and policy dependencies. Roscosmos is simultaneously increasing engagement with private companies to commercialize space activities.
