Bahrain Telecom Industry Overview
The evolving nature of Bahrain's telecommunication industry has led to the creation of a vibrant mix of players comprised of large licensed operators and niche players. The industry is expected to experience fragmentation as operators, including MenaTelecom, focuses on providing niche products, such as fixed-line broadband service with stable returns. However, the large enterprises continue to invest in their infrastructure to keep up with technological advantages and expand offerings.
- March 2020 - Batelco announced its partnership with Aptilo Networks to deliver business-to-business Wi-Fi services in Bahrain. Under the partnership, the company has selected Aptilo Service Management Platform (SMP) with Aptilo SMP Venue Wi-Fi Manager to deploy its nationwide managed Wi-Fi service.
- November 2019 - Zain Bahrain selected Ericsson to deploy its 5G radio network in the kingdom of Bahrain. This partnership allows the company to offer enhanced fixed wireless access and mobile broadband to leverage the potential applications of technological trends, including AR, VR, and IoT.
