North-West Telecom

September 23, 2005

North-West Telecom invests into the expansion of the broadcasting zone of the Arkhangelsk State Broadcasting Company AGTRK “Pomorye” in the Arkhangelsk region

In the fourth quarter of 2005 Artelecom of the Arkhangelsk Region, the branch of the OJSC North-West telecom, will start modernization of its satellite TV repeaters installed at 44 locations in the municipalities of Verkhnyaya Tojma, Konosha, Leshukonskoe, Mezen and Pinega and also in the town of Solovetsky and in the Nenets Autonomous District.  Currently the receiving stations of these repeaters only receive the digital “Rossiya” TV channel  from the Express AM1 satellite.

From 1 August the Arkhangelsk State Broadcasting Company “Pomorye” has started broadcasting the combined digital TV programs of  “Rossiya” and AGTRK “Pomorye” and radio programs of “Radio Rossiya” and AGTRK “Pomorye” through the Yamal-200 Satellite.

In order to ensure the reception of these programs from the Yamal-200 Satellite, the satellite  receiving stations at 42 locations need to be modified and the aerials need to be reoriented at the other two.  In order to reorient the stations to another satellite low noise amplifiers, feeds and fittings are to be purchased and mounted.  Furthermore at two locations the receiving aerials need to be put on higher basements.

North-West Telecom will allocate 800 thousands roubles for these works, which are to be completed by the end of 2005.

This development will make it possible for almost 60 thousands residents of remote rural areas of the Arkhangelsk region and the Nenets Autonomous District to watch the TV programs of the AGTRK “Pomorye”.  In the municipalities of Mezen and Leshukonskoe more than 90% of population will be able to watch the regional TV.                

Artelecom, the Arkhangelsk branch of the  OJSC North-West Telecom, provides TV broadcasting services in the Arkhangelsk region using its own 110 low-power TV repeaters.  They cover the area with a population of about 112 thousands people. The repeaters are installed at 69 locations of the region and the Nenets Autonomous District.  The TV programs sent to the transmitters are received from the satellite broadcasting systems.
