Such centralization may complicate the work of external operators in the IoT Marathon network, which in turn reduces its export potential. In addition, as noted by Pavel Tyrin, Deputy General Director of JSC VISAT-TEL, such architecture increases network latency, which makes it impossible to use the IoT Marathon network for a number of tasks where this parameter is critical, for example, for controlling unmanned systems.

However, Sergei Prokhorov does not consider this circumstance an obstacle. "For work in friendly countries, the possibility of installing a regional station is envisaged, where all regional traffic will land," he explained.

In addition, as Alexey Volin, tunisia whatsapp resource Director General of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Space Communications" (RPKS), noted in an interview with ComNews, RSKS is discussing with Roscosmos the possibility of using its space communications centers in Vladimir, Zheleznogorsk and Khabarovsk to place the "IoT Marathon" ground stations there. Thus, the number of ground stations of the "IoT Marathon" network has increased to at least three, although initially JSC Reshetnev intended to use only one ground interface station.

GPKS: Results of the Year of Business Normalization
Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Space Communications" (FSUE "Space Communications") completed 2023 with record revenue and was able to maintain the share of income from international business at 50%. In an interview with ComNews Editor-in-Chief Leonid Konik, RSCC General Director Alexey Volin spoke about the results of the past year, the activities of the Satellite Communications Information and Communications Center, whose work is coordinated by RSCC, as well as his views on new technologies in space communications and the company's plans for 2024.

Deputy Director General of JSC VISAT-TEL Valentin Anpilogov linked the conflict between the PNST standard and the IoT Marathon with the desire of JSC Reshetnev to minimize design costs: "In the composition of regional gateway stations, Reshetnev excluded the network server, the connection server, and application servers. In May 2023, at the scientific and technical council with the participation of representatives of the Radio Research Institute and the State Space Corporation RSCC, the incorrectness of this decision was pointed out. There were numerous comments from TsNIIMash. There were meetings at Roscosmos. Now it is necessary to redesign the regional gateway station. At the same time, there have never been contradictions between the ideology of the IoT Marathon and PNST, but they arose during the design of the system at the stage of the draft design."

At the time the PNST on satellite IoT was put up for public discussion, the Marathon IoT network (like other new orbital communication constellations of the Sphere project) did not have an operator, and this created another conflict, since traditionally the operator participates in the design of the constellation from the very first steps. Since then, this conflict has been resolved: on March 29, 2024, Roscosmos granted the Gonets Satellite System company the authority to operate all new orbital communication constellations included in the Sphere program, including the Marathon IoT.
