The article discusses the technical possibility of organizing a mobile communication system in the Russian Federation from satellites in high elliptical orbit. Service area covered by 12 narrow 1,7x1,7 deg beams, the customer’s antenna may have a size of 0,4–0,6 m, the total throughput will be about 1 Gbit / s.
