Intersputnik International Organization of Space Communications

Founded on 15 November 1971 under the Agreement on the Establishment of the Intersputnik International System and Organization of Space Communications, the Intersputnik International Organization of Space Communications (Intersputnik) is an intergovernmental organisation bringing together member states from Africa, Americas, Asia and Europe. The Intersputnik Agreement was registered with the Secretariat of the United Nations (UN) on 27 March 1973 under No. 12343.

Intersputnik is tasked to contribute to the strengthening and development of economic, scientific, technical, cultural and other relations by communications, radio and television broadcasting via satellites, as well as to ensure cooperation and coordination of efforts in the design, establishment, operation and development of the Intersputnik international satellite telecommunications system. As an active participant in international relations, Intersputnik contributes to the work of the UN system entities in the field of information and communication technologies and space activities, such as the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the UN Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS) and the UN Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA), and cooperates with intergovernmental satellite communications organisations, non-governmental organisations and other industry stakeholders.

Intersputnik’s unique status allows the organization doing business based on international cooperation. The organization has access to the bandwidth of most commercial satellite operators across the world and major satellite communications systems. Intersputnik provides the users located on all continents with the capacity of geostationary and non-geostationary satellites and the whole range of up-to-date satellite telecommunications and broadcasting services. Such services include the deployment of corporate satellite networks, cellular backhaul via satellite, broadband Internet access, communications on the move, as well as television distribution networks in any geographic location. Intersputnik also offers turn-key, end-to-end and managed services encompassing deployment and operation of satellite communications networks, including ground infrastructure.
