Alghanim Industries has announced the official rollout of Starlink services in Kuwait through its technology venture Sama X, enabling nationwide access to SpaceX’s satellite internet network. The move introduces customers across the country to the world’s largest constellation of low Earth orbit satellites, providing high-speed connectivity without relying on conventional terrestrial infrastructure.
As an authorised global reseller of Starlink, Sama X provides access to high-speed satellite connectivity that delivers fibre-like performance without relying on traditional ground infrastructure. The service offers reliable internet on land and at sea with typical latency as low as 20 milliseconds, supporting remote operations, critical applications, and everyday connectivity needs.
Starlink currently operates the world’s largest LEO satellite network, with more than 10,000 satellites launched since 2020. The system now delivers a total network capacity of around 450 Tbps and serves more than 10 million users worldwide.
In Kuwait, Sama X will offer a range of subscription plans with download speeds exceeding 300 Mbps, along with fast delivery, professional installation, and local support, including a 24/7 bilingual call centre. The service operates in accordance with Kuwait’s telecommunications regulations and the approvals issued by the relevant authorities. For inquiries, customers can call 22055736.
Speaking about the Starlink launch, Kutayba Y. Alghanim, Executive Chairman of Alghanim Industries, said: “The launch of Starlink services in Kuwait through Sama X marks an important 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. Through this initiative, we continue to support the adoption of advanced technologies that strengthen Kuwait’s digital readiness and open new opportunities for innovation and growth.”
Starlink’s capabilities are expected to benefit a wide range of industries, including offshore oil and gas operations, maritime fleets and enterprises requiring dependable communications. Stable connectivity is also becoming increasingly vital for hospitals, academic institutions, research centres and emergency response teams that rely on uninterrupted digital access to maintain operations.
Beyond industrial applications, the service will also provide high-speed internet access for households and businesses, supporting streaming services, cloud-based platforms and data-intensive digital solutions across multiple sectors.
By bringing Starlink to Kuwait, Sama X aims to contribute to national efforts to strengthen the country’s digital ecosystem and broaden access to secure, reliable connectivity. The services operate fully within Kuwait’s telecommunications regulatory framework.
Customers can subscribe to Starlink services directly through Sama X or via Xcite, Kuwait’s electronics retailer, through both online platforms and physical retail outlets.
Amit Somani, CEO of Sama X, added: “Making Starlink services available in Kuwait marks an important step in expanding advanced connectivity options for businesses and individuals across the country. At Sama X, we are focused on making this technology easy to access through fast installation and dedicated local support. Our partnership with Xcite further expands availability, allowing customers to purchase Starlink services easily through Xcite’s online channels and nationwide stores.”
