Batelco, as part of its ongoing strategy to enhance its communications network, has announced network upgrades in Riffa, A’ali and Awali on May 25.

In order to minimise the disruption to customers the upgrade work will take place in the early hours of the morning between 12.30am and 6am.

Batelco Group general manager Media & 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 for both Residential and Business clients.

The upgrade may cause some minor interruptions to fixed telephone lines and Datacoms Lease Line services during the process. Additionally, Star Dial services (Abbreviated Dialing) may be affected; customers are requested to make sure these services are functioning properly following the upgrade and report any problem to Batelco, a statement said.-TradeArabia News Service
