Sama X, a company of Alghanim Industries Group, one of the largest privately held companies in the Middle East, said it has secured the licence from Bahrain's Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) to deliver SpaceX’s high-speed Starlink satellite broadband connectivity to the users across the kingdom.

Serving professionals, enterprises, and public sector organizations, Sama X will enhance high-speed Internet connectivity across all corners of Bahrain, both on land and in national waters, using Starlink’s low-Earth-orbit (LEO) constellation to deliver reliable primary or backup connectivity solutions.

The company’s regional growth builds on its vision to simplify access to digital prosperity through its latest-generation satellite-based connectivity solutions. 

As the first authorised Starlink global reseller with a unique local presence and flexible business model, SamaX is  set to deliver ubiquitous high-speed satellite broadband across the kingdom, both on land and at sea.

"Bahrain stands as a beacon of technological progress and innovation within the region, and we are honoured to play a role in advancing this legacy," remarked Amit Somani, the CEO of Sama X. 

"Starlink's revolutionary LEO technology enables unparalleled connectivity for businesses and communities alike – regardless of location. Whether a startup in Juffair, a school in Riffa, or an oil-rig off the coast, every corner of Bahrain can now benefit from  high-speed Internet access tailored to its needs," he stated.
