El Obeid is the historic centre of the gum arabic trade, roughly 570 km south-west of Khartoum. Starlink needs no cable, no exchange and no local network — just a clear view of the sky.
El Obeid is the gateway to Kordofan, and everything west of it is served by long terrestrial routes that satellite bypasses entirely.
Because the connection comes from orbit rather than from a local exchange, the speed you get in El Obeid is the same as anywhere else in North Kordofan State — distance from Khartoum makes no difference to it.
El Obeid has been the staging post for everything heading west for over a century, gum arabic especially. It is also where the reliable terrestrial capacity starts to run out.
Anywhere in and around El Obeid with an unobstructed view of the sky can be installed. If you are outside these areas, ask — the list reflects demand, not a boundary.
