UAE – Mubasher: Starlink, SpaceX’s satellite internet service, has launched in the UAE, offering residential plans starting at AED 230 per month and business plans from AED 248.

Meanwhile, Starlink adds a new connectivity layer to a market largely dominated by fiber-optic and mobile networks.

Unlike traditional providers like Etisalat and du, which rely on fiber and mobile infrastructure, Starlink operates through a network of low-Earth orbit satellites, enabling internet access in locations where conventional infrastructure is limited or unavailable, including desert regions, offshore sites, and temporary setups.

The Standard Kit is priced at AED 1,465, while the portable Mini Kit costs AED 1,099. Both kits include a satellite dish, Wi-Fi router, and cables, enabling independent connectivity without reliance on fixed-line infrastructure.

Starlink also offers Roam plans designed for mobility, priced at AED 185 per month for 100 GB and AED 605 for unlimited usage.

These plans meet the customers’ demands across multiple locations, including remote workers and travelers.

The service is currently available via direct purchase, with user-managed installation that requires minimal setup and no professional assistance.
