Russia Reboots Wired Broadcasting Infrastructure: Capable of Operating Independently for Up to Four Hours After Power Outage
The Russian Ministry of Digital Development has incorporated wired broadcasting infrastructure into its national communication development strategy. Its primary advantage lies in the ability to function independently of local power grids, with supporting facilities constructed using domestically produced equipment.
This move runs counter to recent trends: in previous years, Rostelecom, Russia’s state-owned telecommunications company, shut down wired broadcasting services across several regions, citing unprofitability. However, this communication method has increasingly demonstrated a critical strength—its capacity to operate autonomously for up to four hours following a power outage. During the 2023 incident at the Chagin Substation in Moscow, local communications were disrupted for an entire four days; residents in southern parts of the capital relied on wired broadcasting for information during that period.
