Starlink has officially launched its satellite internet service in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), days after receiving a 10-year licence from the country’s telecommunications regulator.
The company announced the launch on Thursday, September 3, in a post on its official X account, confirming that its high-speed, low-latency internet service is now available in the UAE.
The launch follows approval from the UAE’s Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA), which on August 28 granted Starlink Satellite Communications LLC a 10-year General Space Services License.
The licence allows Starlink to establish and operate a public satellite communications network and provide broadband satellite internet services across the country.
The approval covers consumers as well as businesses, government agencies and the maritime and aviation sectors.
