Sama X, a company of Alghanim Industries Group, has secured a licence from Bahrain’s Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) to deliver SpaceX’s Starlink satellite broadband services across the kingdom.
The authorisation positions Sama X to introduce high-speed, low-latency connectivity using Starlink’s low-Earth-orbit (LEO) satellite constellation, extending reliable internet access across Bahrain’s urban centres, remote locations, and national waters.
Targeting professionals, enterprises, and public sector organisations, the company will provide both primary and backup connectivity solutions, addressing complex connectivity challenges with regionally tailored services. The offering is designed to support business continuity, digital inclusion, and critical infrastructure resilience.
As the first authorised global Starlink reseller with a strong local presence in Bahrain, Sama X aims to deliver ubiquitous satellite broadband on land and at sea, supported by flexible business models and multilingual local service.
“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,” said Amit Somani, CEO of Sama X. “Starlink’s LEO technology enables unparalleled connectivity regardless of location. Whether a startup in Juffair, a school in Riffa, or an oil rig offshore, every corner of Bahrain can now benefit from high-speed internet tailored to its needs.”
Somani noted that SpaceX’s Starlink system represents the most advanced satellite internet constellation globally, with more LEO satellites launched since 2020 than all other providers combined. This scale enables fibre-like speeds without the constraints of terrestrial networks.
As an authorised reseller, Sama X will offer end-to-end services, including custom consultations, rapid deployment, and 24/7 customer support in both English and Arabic.
Aligned with Bahrain’s Economic Vision 2030, the initiative supports the kingdom’s goals of sustainable development and technological leadership. By enabling smarter connectivity solutions, Sama X aims to strengthen Bahrain’s digital ecosystem and position reliable internet access as a foundation for national growth.
“We are thankful to the TRA for its constructive policies and regulatory framework, which create an exceptional foundation for technology players to thrive,” Somani added. “We look forward to collaborating with local stakeholders to fulfil their broadband needs and deliver added value through our differentiated local service, product flexibility, and integrated network solutions.”
Sama X’s expansion reflects a broader regional strategy to simplify access to digital prosperity through next-generation satellite connectivity, bringing resilient, high-performance internet to sectors where traditional infrastructure falls short.
