ToggleStarlink Satellite Internet Launches Nationwide in Jordan via Sama X
Jordan has officially entered a new era of connectivity with the launch of SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet service, made available nationwide through the newly authorized reseller Sama X. The company has secured the necessary license from Jordan’s Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC), bringing high-speed, low-latency internet to urban and, crucially, remote regions across the Kingdom.
Bridging Jordan’s Digital Divide
Backed by Kuwait’s Alghanim Industries, Sama X is positioned as a leading provider aiming to reduce the digital divide. The service leverages Starlink’s low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation, which offers superior speed and significantly lower delay compared to traditional satellite internet. This technology is a game-changer for applications requiring real-time data, like video conferencing, cloud services, and remote education.
A primary focus for Sama X will be addressing connectivity gaps in northern and southern Jordan, where traditional broadband infrastructure is limited or non-existent. The service will provide reliable primary or backup internet for businesses, government agencies, NGOs, schools, and households.
Comprehensive Localized Support
Sama X emphasizes an end-to-end solution beyond just providing hardware. This includes:
Personalized consultations to determine the best connectivity plan.
Rapid installation and activation.
24/7 customer support in both English and Arabic.
Ongoing technical support to ensure seamless integration into users’ operations.
This turnkey approach is designed to lower the technical barrier for businesses and institutions adopting advanced satellite broadband.
Strategic Vision and Economic Impact
Sama X CEO Amit Somani highlighted the service’s role in supporting Jordan’s Economic Modernisation Vision, a national strategy for digital transformation and economic diversification. Reliable internet can profoundly impact remote education, e-commerce, telehealth, and public services in isolated communities.
“We are grateful to the TRC for creating a supportive regulatory framework,” Somani stated, noting that Jordan’s diverse geography makes it an ideal proving ground for satellite internet that could influence wider MENA region deployments.

By overcoming the limitations of ground-based infrastructure, Starlink via Sama X promises to connect the unconnected, foster new economic opportunities, and play a pivotal role in the Kingdom’s digital future. The service is now available for order, bringing the world’s most advanced satellite internet network to every corner of Jordan.
