The Ministry of Digital Development, Innovations and Aerospace Industry has delivered approximately 250 Starlink terminals to three regions of the country. Specifically, 138 terminals were delivered to the Akmola Region, 53 to the Zhambyl Region, and 55 to the Zhetysu Region. Connection of the terminals in these regions is planned for the near future.

Overall, as of today, 502 rural schools across the country are provided with internet access using Starlink technology. After the installation of the terminals, the average internet speed in schools reaches 200 Mbps.

Last week, Minister Bagdat Musin held a meeting with Rebecca Hunter, Director of Global Partnerships and Activation at SpaceX. The parties discussed issues related to the expansion of Starlink technology in Kazakhstan, equipping rural schools with broadband internet, as well as the development of digital projects. Additionally, SpaceX representatives visited one of the schools connected to Starlink in the village of Shubar.

The Ministry of Digital Development pays special attention to providing high-speed internet to rural schools in the regions of the country. The supply of additional Starlink terminals to other regions will continue.
