Starlink, the satellite internet venture by Elon Musk’s SpaceX, has officially launched its high-speed internet service across Bahrain, as confirmed via the company’s official X account. This launch follows the telecommunications licence granted by Bahrain’s Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) in 2022, authorizing Starlink to provide satellite-based internet solutions throughout the Kingdom.
Philippe Marnick, Director General of TRA Bahrain, welcomed the development, stating it reinforces Bahrain’s commitment to advanced telecommunications that support the country’s development vision and serve both public and private sector needs.
Starlink’s entry into Bahrain is part of its rapid global expansion, with services available in over 125 countries by May 2025. Utilizing a constellation of low Earth orbit satellites, Starlink delivers high-speed, low-latency connectivity, especially benefiting remote and underserved areas.
Beyond domestic and commercial applications, Starlink supports critical mobile sectors such as aviation and maritime, opening new avenues for innovation in logistics and mobility.
