The Kazakh Ministry of Digital
Development, Innovation and Aerospace Industry has dispatched over 30 Starlink
terminals to the flood-affected regions. This equipment provides internet
access via satellite communication. The terminals are primarily being installed
in schools to ensure uninterrupted educational processes.
“The ministry has dispatched 30
Starlink terminals to the Kostanai region, three to the Aktobe region, two to
the West Kazakhstan region, and one to the Ulytau region. Additionally, six
terminals have been requested for the Atyrau region, two for the East
Kazakhstan region, and three for the North Kazakhstan region. Upon request from
the local authorities, the ministry is ready to send additional terminals
during the emergency period,” said Albina Aten, spokesperson for the Kazakh
Ministry of Digital Development, Innovation and Aerospace Industry.
The restoration of mobile
communication in the flood-affected regions is currently underway, as
highlighted by the relevant ministry. Operators are replacing and relocating
equipment to other locations, as well as connecting additional generators to
the stations. Hundreds of specialists have been involved in the work. Operators
have also provided free communication and internet access to Kazakh citizens
evacuated from flooded areas.
