Khabarovsk Region Bridges Digital Divide, Two Villages Still Offline

The Khabarovsk region has made significant strides in bridging the digital divide. Two villages, Udsk and Moroye, founded by Russians, remain the last without 4G connectivity due to economic and geographical challenges.

This fall, residents of Tugur and Insky rural settlement celebrated gaining access to fast 4G mobile internet. This follows the completion of work under the federal program to eliminate digital inequality (UCN 2.0) in the region. However, two villages in the northern part, Ayan and Nelkan, still lack 4G access. Laying an optical fiber line in these villages is currently not feasible due to low population density, complex terrain, and extreme climate. Despite this, the region has nearly achieved its goal of providing all settlements with over 100 people with reliable and fast access to the global network.

While the Khabarovsk region has made remarkable progress in connecting its settlements to the digital world, two villages, Udsk and Moroye, remain isolated due to economic and geographical hurdles. Efforts continue to find sustainable solutions to bridge this digital gap.
