Vodafone Qatar has announced a new partnership with Starlink, becoming the country’s first business-to-business (B2B) reseller of the satellite connectivity service. This strategic alliance significantly expands Vodafone’s enterprise portfolio, bringing high-speed, low-latency internet to businesses operating in Qatar’s most remote and challenging environments.
Connecting Qatar’s Most Remote Industries
The new service is designed to provide reliable connectivity for enterprises in sectors such as oil and gas, maritime operations, and desert sites, which often operate beyond the reach of traditional terrestrial networks. By offering robust backup systems, the Starlink solution ensures business continuity and operational resilience for companies of all sizes.
The agreement serves as a strategic complement to Vodafone Qatar’s existing mobile and fixed network capabilities, introducing enterprise-grade satellite connectivity to the Qatari market for the first time through a local reseller.
High-Speed LEO Satellite Connectivity
Powered by Starlink’s vast Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellation, the service delivers impressive performance metrics, with speeds reaching up to 500 Mbps and latency as low as 20 milliseconds. The offering includes scalable bandwidth options, allowing it to adapt to the evolving connectivity demands of different enterprises.
Mohamed Mohsin Alyafei, Enterprise Business Unit Director at Vodafone Qatar, commented on the partnership, “We are proud to partner with Starlink and, as the first B2B reseller of its solutions in Qatar, enhance national ICT infrastructure and advance business resilience, supporting Qatar’s digital transformation agenda, and contributing to its National Vision 2030.”
