About Belintersat
Creation of the National Satellite Communication and Broadcast System is the largest project in the field of telecommunications implemented by the Republic of Belarus. The project has a high innovative, economic, social and political importance for our country.
The project aims at cooperation with commercial and state customers from the Republic of Belarus, as well as from neighboring countries and those further abroad.
By launching its first telecommunication satellite the Republic of Belarus entered the world market of satellite services.
The decision to launch its own communications satellite was taken at the highest state level. A closed tender for the project was announced, and the winner was the China Great Wall Industry Corporation. In autumn 2012 a contract with CGWIC to supply the National Satellite Communication and Broadcast System of the Republic of Belarus was signed. A loan from the Export-Import Bank of China was raised to finance the project.
