- Space Norway will offer Starlink’s LEO services to maritime and land-based clients
- Customers can manage their service and hardware via a new online portal
What happened: Reseller deal expands Space Norway’s satellite coverage
Space Norway has signed a reseller deal with Starlink, expanding its satellite services to include Low Earth Orbit (LEO) connectivity. The company already operates a hybrid system using geostationary (GEO), Highly Elliptical Orbit (HEO), fibre, and subsea cables.
The new service targets maritime users worldwide, as well as land-based enterprise clients in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. It will go live in the coming weeks. Customers can monitor data use, change plans, and purchase hardware through Space Norway’s new online portal. The firm will also provide technical support and integration help.

Why it’s important
This agreement strengthens Space Norway’s position as a multi-orbit service provider. LEO satellites offer lower latency and better coverage in remote areas, making them ideal for ships and isolated enterprise sites. The partnership helps the company deliver high-speed, reliable connectivity across some of the world’s most challenging regions.
CEO Morten Tengs called the deal a “significant milestone.” He said it enhances the company’s service quality and global reach. The announcement comes as satellite networks gain strategic value. Competitors like Eutelsat are seeking government investment, while firms like Nokia and Honeywell are testing quantum-safe satellite links.
As demand for secure, fast connectivity grows, partnerships between national operators and private LEO providers are likely to increase. Space Norway’s move shows how state-backed firms are embracing next-gen technology to serve both government and commercial needs.
