Manama, Bahrain: Batelco, Bahrain’s leading digital solutions provider continues to expand the coverage of its 4G+ network nationwide, with the number of locations covered by Batelco more than doubling in the past year. Batelco first announced the new era for mobile phone services in May 2016 with the beginning of the rollout of superfast 4G+ for its customers, making it the first telecom in the Kingdom of Bahrain to deliver the superfast data speeds.
Batelco Bahrain CEO Eng. Muna Al Hashemi said that the growth of the 4G+ service is meeting the ever-growing demand from customers for superfast mobile data that is also reliable and widely available.
“We are very pleased with the success of the rollout with the number of locations covered growing continuously. The technology equates to better coverage, greater stability and faster performance.
