Some Aspects of Providing Information Security of Hydrocarbons Extraction and Transportation in the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation

The article considers the problems of providing radio communication in area of the Northern Sea Route as the main route for petroleum and gas products transportation from the Arctic shelf region of Russian Federation. The conclusion is made that thanks to the stationarity of the medium waves channel and the possibility of radio communication at distances which are significantly higher than the zone of direct visibility because of the diffraction and refraction, the using of medium waves can be considered as a reserve system, being secondary micro waves radio connection system and requiring less expenditures for its deployment.
