On March 6 at a Government meeting Russian Minister of transport Maxim Sokolov reported on the development of the system "ERA-GLONASS". In his report he highlighted the creation of Telecom infrastructure "ERA-GLONASS" in the regions not covered by terrestrial communication networks, where these purposes it is planned to use the satellite system "Messenger". Using "Messenger" you can send a signal about the incident from any point on the map of the country that dramatically changes the possibilities of operational services for emergency response in an accident, significantly reducing the time of arrival at the scene.

The application of the system "Messenger" in the transport complex of the country should affect the increase in the number of lives saved and the increase in the overall level of aviation security, because in addition to the signal of the accident can be sent also reports of breakdowns and other emergency situations, which is especially important in regions with long distances and harsh climatic conditions.
