Zain Bahrain subscribers will soon enjoy faster data downloads and an overall enhanced mobile customer experience.
The operator has signed up Nokia Siemens Networks to modernise its radio and core network as well as the prepaid charging system and more importantly hasten its trajectory towards the delivery of rich, advanced voice, data and multimedia services.
With this upgrade, Nokia Siemens Networks will commence Zain Bahrain's transition to an all-IP flat network architecture, introducing future proof services and technologies such as Internet High Speed Packet Access (I-HSPA) and Long Term Evolution (LTE).
"In today's business, you have to pre-empt what consumers want," said Zain Bahrain general manager Mohammed Zainalabedin.
Nokia Siemens Networks will replace the existing legacy core network with the latest Mobile Softswitching (MSS) solution. In addition, charging system will be upgraded to the Nokia Siemens Networks prepaid solution, based on charge@once select.
