Passengers traveling on the Astana-Almaty train can now enjoy internet access, making it the first train in Kazakhstan to provide this service as part of a pilot project.
Powered by Eutelsat-OneWeb low-orbit satellite technology, the service enables passengers to browse the web, stream videos, and make video calls during the 17-hour journey. Plans are underway to expand the service to additional routes in the future.
This initiative aligns with Kazakhstan's broader goals to digitize its transportation system and improve the passenger experience, according to a Jan. 24 announcement by Kazakhstan Temir Zholy (KTZ), the national railway company.
The project also includes other technological upgrades, such as mobile ticket-checking terminals, chest video cameras for train conductors, and video surveillance systems. All video recordings are stored directly in cloud storage, enhancing security and operational oversight.
