Batelco boosts Saudi presence
Manama : Batelco announced it has completed an initiative aimed at enhancing its presence in Saudi Arabia.
The enhancement project includes the deployment of four new Point of Presence (PoPs) in Saudi Arabia with each PoP connected through a different cable system to Batelco’s global network, the company said in a statement.
Batelco Bahrain CEO Muna Al Hashemi said the projects are designed to support the growth of the company’s global business while ensuring network diversity, avoiding single points of failure, providing better country resilience and efficient use of international capacities.
“The Saudi Arabian market is among the fastest growing in the region and our new setup will ensure that enterprise customers in Saudi and international carriers will benefit from a reliable end-to-end service offering,” she said.
Batelco Chief Global Business Officer, Adel Al Daylami explained that Batelco today has more than 26 PoPs deployed around the globe with a focus on the MENA region and with Saudi Arabia being the heart of the region it requires unique attention, as it is such a vital part of the overall network.
“Batelco’s PoPs are distributed around the globe and connected through different cable systems to the network to avoid a single point of failure. Additionally, our core PoPs are distributed over redundant geographical zones in the region, so even if a whole country is down, our network continues to provide the service to our clients,” Al Daylami said.
“Furthermore, with this enhancement, we are pleased to announce that our Global Ethernet services are positioned in a much better way considering the robust topology deployed in Saudi Arabia, hence passing the value of such initiatives to our end customers,” Al Daylami added.
