This new initiative from Orange Jordan underscores a significant leap forward in the push for digital inclusion in remote areas, promising enhanced connectivity and a brighter digital future for all residents of Jordan. The announcement was made during a press conference on Wednesday, organized by the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC), which signaled the beginning of an expanded high-speed internet access initiative for underserved regions.
TRC Chairman Bassam Sarhan highlighted the launch as “a significant milestone for the telecommunications sector,” emphasizing that the new service, powered by low Earth orbit satellites, represents a technological leap in providing internet access to remote and difficult-to-reach areas where traditional infrastructure is not viable. “The introduction of satellite-based internet reflects our commitment to building inclusive, modern digital infrastructure across Jordan,” Sarhan said. “This service is not just a connectivity innovation but a strategic step toward improving economic opportunities, promoting digital equality, and enhancing the quality of services for all Jordanians.”
Sarhan also noted that the licensing process for this initiative involved comprehensive technical studies to ensure compliance with both national and international standards.
The TRC worked closely to tailor the service to meet the specific needs of the Jordanian market. The launch aligns with Jordan’s Economic Modernisation Vision, which identifies digital transformation as a cornerstone for long-term economic growth and international competitiveness. The TRC reiterated its commitment to fostering a regulatory environment that supports innovation while safeguarding public interest.
With this launch, Jordan joins a growing number of countries adopting space-based connectivity solutions, reinforcing its ambition to remain at the forefront of global digital innovation. The service is expected to accelerate digital inclusion, bolster the economy, and provide more equitable access to high-quality internet services across the nation.
