BATELCO has commenced a series of network upgrades as part of ongoing efforts to keep its network on par with the highest international standards.
The upgrades will take place in different areas around Bahrain until August.
Batelco Group general manager media and government relations Ahmed Al Janahi said that Batelco is replacing its network equipment with the latest technology to meet the growing demand for enhanced and more sophisticated services.
The process of upgrades, which began on March 9 in the Ras Bu Jarjoor area, will be followed by Sitra on March 22.
The work will take place during the early hours of the morning between 12.30am and 6am in order to minimise the disruption to customers.
The upgrade may cause some minor interruptions to fixed telephone lines and Datacoms Lease Line services during the process. Additionally, Star Dial services may be affected and customers are requested to make sure these services are functioning properly following the upgrade and report any problem to Batelco.
In the event of any problem, call 121 for telephone line service and Batelco Service Management Centre on 17 80001180 for Datacoms Lease Line.
