Batelco reinforces Bahrain’s ideal location for satellite operations

Batelco announced yesterday that it continues to provide teleport services to satellite and VSAT operators, with the company’s fully equipped teleport placing Bahrain on the global map of satellite operations.

The company also said to better showcase its capabilities and offerings, a number of Batelco executives will be attending the CABSAT exhibition and conference held at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 8 to 10 March.

“The multi-layered nature of the satellite environment makes delivering services through satellite operations a rigorous process,” the company said while adding that Batelco is fully equipped to manage and deliver such services. Batelco teleport boasts a 30,000 square metre operational area with partners gaining access to the telecom’s MPLS, SDH national, international networks and internet uplinks.

Batelco also said that its diverse and resilient facility also features seamless integration with terrestrial networks and provides full support for satellite and VSAT operators to streamline their operations efficiently.

Batelco Chief Global Officer, Adel Al Daylami, explained that with an increased demand for connectivity over a reliable infrastructure now, satellite operators have more requirements.

“As a result, we are increasingly focusing on our teleport services, and enhancing our facility to meet the changing demands of the market,” he added.
