Ultra-fast satellite internet service Starlink is now available in the UAE.

Residents may pay from around Dh300 per month for standard packages, while the ‘Residential Lite’ plan costs Dh230 per month.

Separate plans for businesses are also available from Dh248 per month.

Gulf News reports that the UAE recently appeared on Starlink’s official availability map, signalling that live service is now accessible in the country.

Developed by Elon Musk’s space venture SpaceX, Starlink provides high-speed internet through a constellation of low-Earth orbit satellites.

Starlink provides connectivity in areas where traditional fibre or mobile networks cannot reach or are unreliable.

Unlike conventional satellite internet, Starlink operates at much lower altitudes, enabling faster speeds and reduced latency.

The service is already available in more than 150 countries and territories worldwide, and last year it was introduced on Emirates and flydubai flights.
