plant protection, efficient use of water resources, and decreasing

greenhouse gas emissions. Intersputnik International, in collaboration

with its members and signatories, is currently developing a solution

that enables precise point positioning corrections (widely used by

various businesses and industries to improve the precision of their

activities in the field) to be received via standard Ku-band bent pipe

communication or broadcasting satellite, which significantly reduces

the cost of the correction module. This solution can be widely

implemented by farmers in developing countries due to the lower

costs and an opportunity to use their domestic satellite systems in

remote areas where such corrections cannot be received from a

cellular network due to the absence of coverage. It is expected that

this solution will increase the adoption of precision farming,

especially in developing countries, resulting in improved harvest

yields.

Bridging Education Divide for Remote Communities:

In the field of education, satellite communications are providing

solutions to the challenge of providing access to education in remote

or underdeveloped areas. More than half of the member states of the

organisation are developing countries, and many of them have

nationwide projects to connect schools. Intersputnik is actively

promoting the use of satellite-based solutions to expand its reach,
