This article explores the significance of CubeSats in transforming Uzbekistan’s communication sector. CubeSats, as cost-effective and compact nanosatellites, offer valuable solutions for enhancing connectivity, especially in remote and underserved areas. The paper discusses the technical characteristics of CubeSats, including their modular design, communication capabilities, and application in Internet of Things (IoT) integration. Uzbekistan’s current initiatives in educational programs and international collaborations are highlighted, demonstrating the country’s growing interest in satellite technology. Furthermore, the strategic importance of CubeSats for national security, economic development, and scientific research is analyzed. Tables and diagrams support the analytical overview, emphasizing the potential of CubeSats to contribute significantly to Uzbekistan's digital infrastructure.
