With the support of the Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Beeline Kazakhstan, in partnership with Starlink Mobile, is launching satellite mobile connectivity based on Direct to Cell technology. The technology will allow users to access selected communication services on compatible smartphones beyond the coverage of terrestrial mobile networks.The introduction of Starlink Mobile is the result of agreements reached during President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev’s official visit to the United States in 2025. In November of the same year, the Ministry and Beeline Kazakhstan signed a memorandum of cooperation on the implementation of Direct to Cell technology, followed by the first practical tests in December.“In autumn 2025, during President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev’s official visit to the United States, Kazakhstan reached an agreement on the introduction of Starlink Mobile (Direct to Cell) satellite connectivity. Today, we are seeing this agreement become a reality. Kazakhstan has become the first country in Central Asia where Direct to Cell has undergone practical testing and is now moving to the user service stage. It is important for us that advanced technologies are not simply part of international agreements, but are beginning to work here in Kazakhstan and deliver tangible benefits to people,” said Zhaslan Madiyev, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan.The technology provides a direct connection between a compatible smartphone and Starlink Mobile (Direct to Cell) satellites without the need for a dedicated satellite phone, external antenna or additional equipment. Users will be able to send and receive messages, as well as access basic internet services in areas where there is no terrestrial mobile network coverage. For Beeline Kazakhstan customers, the service will be available free of charge during the promotional period.Satellite connectivity complements terrestrial mobile infrastructure and expands communication opportunities in remote areas, along highways outside urban areas and in mountainous regions. The service can be used where there is no terrestrial coverage, provided that conditions allow a connection to be established with a satellite.For Kazakhstan, with its vast territory, the development of satellite mobile connectivity is of particular importance. The technology creates additional opportunities for sending messages from hard-to-reach areas, as well as in situations where terrestrial infrastructure has been damaged. It can be useful for tourists, residents of remote settlements, road and utility service workers, and specialists working far from populated areas.“Beeline has been operating in Kazakhstan for more than twenty years, and throughout this time we have consistently invested in the development of connectivity and new technologies. Kazakhstan is one of the largest countries in the world by territory, and distance should not become a barrier to people’s access to modern technologies. The development of digital infrastructure is a long-term investment in the country’s competitiveness and quality of life,” said Kazakhstani businessman and investor of the Verny Capital Group, Bulat Utemuratov.“The launch of satellite mobile connectivity is the result of extensive joint efforts by the Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development, the Beeline Kazakhstan team and Starlink specialists. Beeline is the first company in Kazakhstan to launch this technology, which will expand the capabilities of mobile connectivity beyond conventional coverage areas. The results of this long and dedicated effort are now available to people across Kazakhstan. We are offering a simple and fundamentally new level of connectivity that will allow people to stay connected in places where this was previously impossible,” said Jabbor Kayumov, CEO of Beeline Kazakhstan.The project is being implemented jointly by the Ministry, Beeline Kazakhstan and Starlink. An additional foundation for the cooperation is the global framework agreement between Starlink and the VEON Group, which holds a controlling stake in Beeline Kazakhstan.How to Use the TechnologyAt the current stage, the service is available on compatible Android devices. Support for other operating systems is planned to be expanded in the future.To activate the service, users need to update the Janymda app to the latest version, activate the Starlink service in the app and enable data roaming in their phone settings. If there is no terrestrial mobile coverage, the satellite network can be selected manually as Beeline Starlink. In some cases, it may appear as 401 04. Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/maidd/press/news/details/1299787?lang=ru

To implement the initiative, it was proposed to establish a joint working group involving government agencies, regions and scientific organizations of Kazakhstan and Russia.Particular attention was also paid to the development of river logistics. East Kazakhstan presented the prospects for establishing a river port in the village of Tugyl on Lake Zaysan. The project is currently at the development stage.The potential infrastructure base may include the existing pier, warehouse and cargo-handling facilities, as well as the 99-kilometre Tugyl–Maykapshagai railway line.The potential cargo base includes quartz sand, granite, crushed stone, bentonite and other bulk cargoes. Preliminary estimates indicate that the potential volume of cargo could exceed 3 million tonnes per navigation season.The participants also discussed passenger transportation and river tourism. East Kazakhstan Region is considering opportunities to modernize its passenger fleet through cooperation with shipbuilding companies from Russia and China.At the same time, the development of the Irtysh’s transport and economic potential should go hand in hand with environmental protection. The participants proposed jointly studying environmentally sensitive sections of the river, including spawning areas, and carrying out infrastructure works based on scientific research and environmental monitoring.To ensure a systematic approach, it was proposed to combine initiatives related to the Unified Digital Passport of the Irtysh, cargo base assessment, development of logistics routes, scientific research and environmental monitoring into a single Roadmap with specific activities, timelines and responsible parties.Nuryымbet Saktaganov also proposed holding the next international forum dedicated to the Irtysh in East Kazakhstan Region in 2027.The development of the Irtysh offers opportunities to strengthen interregional ties, expand transport and tourism cooperation and implement new economic projects, while preserving the river’s water and biological resources as a key priority.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/tourism-vko/press/news/details/1299769?lang=ru
