Sama X launches Starlink in Kuwait following regulatory approval

Kuwaiti conglomerate Alghanim Industries announced on Tuesday that its tech venture Sama X is officially reselling Starlink’s LEO satellite broadband services in Kuwait, a day after the country’s regulator granted Starlink an operating licence.

Sama X – which is authorized by SpaceX to resell Starlink products globally – said it will offer a range of subscription plans with download speeds exceeding 300 Mbps, along with delivery, professional installation, and local support, including a 24/7 bilingual call centre.

Alghanim Industries executive chairman Kutayba Y. Alghanim said the launch of Starlink in Kuwait is a key step in strengthening the country’s digital infrastructure.

« At a time when reliable connectivity has become essential for business continuity and the effective functioning of key sectors, this technology provides advanced connectivity that helps organizations, governments, and communities stay connected wherever they operate — from remote worksites to critical sectors such as healthcare and education,” he said in a statement.

Sama X’s Starlink launch follows an announcement on Monday by Kuwait’s Communications and Information Technology Regulatory Authority (CITRA) that it had granted Starlink a license to provide satellite internet services in the country.

CITRA said in a statement to the Kuwait News Agency that Starlink met all regulatory and technical requirements, ensuring compliance with national telecoms laws and frequency spectrum regulations.

Sama X – which is headquartered in Dubai – was established by Alghanim Industries last year as part of the group’s broader expansion into technology and advanced connectivity solutions across the region. The company offers tailored connectivity solutions for enterprises, small businesses, and professional consumers.
