Alghanim Industries (Kutayba Alghanim Group) has announced the launch of Starlink services in Kuwait through its technology venture Sama X, expanding access to high‑speed satellite internet across the country.
As an authorized global reseller of Starlink, Sama X offers access to SpaceX’s advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite network, the world’s largest constellation, bringing fiber-like internet performance without relying on traditional ground infrastructure.
The service provides reliable internet both on land and at sea, with typical latency as low as 20 milliseconds, supporting remote operations, critical applications, and everyday connectivity needs.
Since 2020, Starlink has launched over 10,000 satellites, creating the largest LEO satellite network globally. The system now offers a total network capacity of around 450 terabits per second and serves more than 10 million users worldwide.
In Kuwait, Sama X will offer multiple subscription plans with download speeds exceeding 300 Mbps, along with fast delivery, professional installation, and dedicated local support, including a 24×7 bilingual call center.
Customers can purchase Starlink services directly from Sama X or through Xcite, Kuwait’s electronics retailer, both online and in physical stores nationwide.
The service operates fully in accordance with Kuwait’s telecommunications regulations and approvals issued by the relevant authorities.

“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 is critical for business continuity and the functioning of key sectors, this technology helps organizations, governments, and communities stay connected wherever they operate—from remote worksites to critical sectors such as healthcare and education. This initiative supports the adoption of advanced technologies, strengthens Kuwait’s digital readiness, and opens new opportunities for innovation and growth.”
Starlink’s connectivity extends from offshore oil and gas installations and maritime fleets to enterprises across the country, ensuring stable communications that enhance operational efficiency, safety, and business continuity.
The service also supports essential services such as hospitals, schools, research institutions, and emergency response teams that rely on uninterrupted access to digital systems and data.
Amit Somani, CEO of Sama X, added that, “Making Starlink services available in Kuwait expands advanced connectivity options for businesses and individuals. We are focused on providing easy access through fast installation and local support. Our partnership with Xcite further broadens availability, allowing customers to purchase Starlink services online and across nationwide stores.”
Sama X was established by Alghanim Industries as part of the group’s broader expansion into technology and advanced connectivity solutions across the region. The company operates in several regional markets and holds a global license to resell Starlink products.
