The Russian aerospace company Bureau 1440 has introduced a line of proprietary subscriber terminals for connecting satellite communications. The presentation took place at the company's stand during the Digital Solutions exhibition and forum. Bureau 1440 is a part of X Holding and is the developer of the Rassvet low-orbit satellite system for providing broadband Internet access.
In total, three types of subscriber terminals were presented. The "1440" model.Ultra provides data transfer speeds of up to 700 Mbit/s and is already being mass-produced. The dimensions remained the same as those of the pre—production model - 600× 600 mm, and the weight decreased by 30%. This terminal is installed permanently at industrial facilities and construction sites located in a remote area. The terminal can withstand a wide temperature range and has an IP67 degree of protection against dust and water.
Subscriber terminal "1440.The Mini is still in development and was presented as a concept. It is a portable device measuring 300x300 mm with a data transfer rate of about 100 Mbit/s. Such equipment will be in demand by rescuers, emergency services, geological expeditions and other users working in remote areas.

The third terminal, named "1440.Earth", designed specifically for railway workers. The equipment is already being tested on Russian Railways trains. The terminal is designed for stable data transmission at train speeds up to 400 km/h and for all types of wagons. Serial production will provide connectivity to the railway network across the country.
The development and mass production of terrestrial subscriber terminals takes place simultaneously with the deployment of the satellite constellation, said Dmitry Agafonov, Deputy General Director for Business Development and Products at Bureau 1440 LLC. The different dimensions, weight, configuration and degree of protection of the devices will cover a wide range of needs for stable communication. The launch of device sales will be announced later.
