OREANDA-NEWS. Batelco, a major global player in the telecommunications industry, has announced the completion of a major global network expansion project.

Batelco’s expansion project was shortlisted in Capacity’s prestigious Global Carrier Awards for the Best Middle Eastern Project Award. The project allowed Batelco to grow its global business, ensure network diversity, avoid single points of failure, provide better country resiliency, and efficiently use international capacities. These aggressive expansion plans allowed Batelco to deploy new Points-of-Presence (PoPs) around the world.

In 2015, Batelco formed strategic partnerships with high caliber companies such asdatamena, China Unicom, Airtel, Turk Telekom, and many others. This further allowed Batelco to offer high value services to its customers by providing cutting edge solutions. Batelco’s global foothold has also been solidified; Batelco has an established presence in all major areas of the world. The company’s active Points-of-Presence (PoPs), strategic partnerships, and Joint Ventures (JVs) have enabled them to secure a multitude of projects connecting multi-national organisations in disparate locations across the globe.

“All our efforts are geared towards empowering customers to focus on their core operations, while their network is fully managed by Batelco as a single point of contact no matter where they are,” highlighted Batelco Chief Global Officer, Adel Al Daylami.

“This expansion project allows us to offer a superior customer experience to more businesses around the world. We can offer this experience, with our expanded network, as we have unique capabilities and experts in the project office, an advanced monitoring portal, and a high quality resilient network,” Mr. Al Daylami added.
