High speed internet

153 socially important facilities in Kalmykia will be connected to high-speed internet in 2021

Batu Khasikov, Head of the Republic of Kalmykia, noted: “We are actively developing information infrastructure in Kalmykia. We are connecting schools, libraries, medical and fire stations to high-speed Internet. This year, we will connect 153 socially important facilities.

The programme of digital transformation of the republic has been implemented since 2019, and has already achieved significant results: 212 facilities in 148 settlements have been connected, of which 25 have Internet access for the first time. In 2021, 57 schools, 35 local authorities, 52 nursing stations and 9 cultural organisations, namely libraries, will be connected to the Internet via fibre-optic channels.

Thanks to the elimination of the digital divide, remote corners of Kalmykia now have access to the Internet. And we will continue to connect other settlements and facilities in the republic,” said Batu Khasikov, Head of the Republic of Kalmykia.
