      <title>Starlink expands to 150+ countries, launches services across Gulf</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330455207/starlink-expands-to-150-countries-launches-services-across-gulf</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Starlink, the satellite-based internet service developed by SpaceX and owned by Elon Musk, has expanded its global footprint to more than 150 countries and territories, including several nations in the Gulf region.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The company confirmed that its services are now available in the United Arab Emirates, as well as Oman, Yemen, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the UAE, Starlink offers a range of pricing options for both roaming and residential users, Dubai-based newspaper &lt;em&gt;Khaleej Times&lt;/em&gt; said in a report.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Roaming plans start at Dh190 per month for 100GB of data, while an unlimited roaming package is priced at Dh370 monthly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For home users, the company provides two main packages: the “Residential Lite” plan at Dh230 per month with unlimited usage, and a standard residential package offering maximum available speeds for Dh300 per month.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Customers are also required to purchase hardware costing Dh1,099.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Starlink uses a network of low Earth orbit satellites to deliver high-speed internet, particularly in areas where traditional broadband infrastructure is limited.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unlike conventional services that rely on underground cables or cellular towers, its satellite constellation enables faster response times and lower latency.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The company says its service supports activities such as video streaming, online gaming and video calls, and claims up to 99.9% uptime along with resilience in adverse weather conditions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Starlink’s continued expansion highlights the growing demand for satellite-based connectivity solutions worldwide, especially in remote and underserved regions.&lt;/p&gt;
