Oman’s telecoms regulator has approved Starlink to provide broadband internet services across the country using its low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation.
According to the Times of Oman, Starlink, a subsidiary of SpaceX, will deliver high-speed satellite connectivity to all regions in Oman, with speeds of up to 100Mbps. The company will also offer innovative solutions for telecom towers in remote and challenging terrains, supporting Oman’s digital transformation agenda.
Key sectors expected to benefit from enhanced connectivity include oil and gas, mining, tourism, and agriculture.
This approval follows another major milestone for Starlink, as the Vietnamese government recently granted the company a five-year trial licence to launch broadband services in the country.
