The Wait Is Over – Starlink Is Back!
After months of anticipation, Starlink officially resumed service availability in Nairobi and neighboring counties such as Kiambu, Machakos, Kajiado, Nakuru, and Murang’a starting October 2024. This development marks a major shift in how businesses, institutions, and homes access reliable, high-speed internet in the region.
At Phonex Technologies, we are proud to be among the first official resellers and installation experts for Starlink Satellite Internet in Kenya.
What Is Starlink?
Starlink, powered by Elon Musk’s SpaceX, is a low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite internet solution offering fast, low-latency broadband connectivity to remote and underserved regions.
Key features:
- Speeds up to 250 Mbps
- Latency as low as 20–40 ms
- Easy to deploy

- Overwhelming demand
- Licensing updates with local regulators
