In September 2025, the Council of Ministers approved a license for Starlink Lebanon to provide satellite internet services across the country. The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) has since established a framework allowing certain eligible entities, including companies and official bodies, to use the service under specific conditions.<\/p>

The TRA’s latest guidance says Starlink has not yet commercially launched for the general public, while regulatory and technical preparations continue. Residential subscriptions are also not currently permitted. Rmeish’s terminal therefore represents an important early use of the technology in Lebanon, rather than the start of nationwide residential availability.<\/p>

Why Rmeish?<\/h2>

For a town located directly along Lebanon’s southern border, maintaining communications during emergencies is particularly important.<\/p>
A satellite connection provides an additional layer of resilience when terrestrial infrastructure is affected by power cuts, physical damage, or network outages. In other words, if the usual internet goes down, Starlink can potentially keep essential communications running.<\/p>
