To mark the occasion of 4G LTE for the BIC, Batelco Bahrain CEO Rashid Abdulla met with BIC Chief Executive Shaikh Salman bin Isa Al Khalifa to present him with an LTE enabled mobile device.
Batelco Bahrain CEO Rashid Abdulla said that Batelco was very pleased to deliver 4G LTE capability for the International Circuit in preparation for the 2013 Bahrain Grand Prix event.
“Batelco, which is a proud partner of the BIC, has been delivering integrated communications services for the BIC and the annual Grand Prix since the beginning. Each year, we raise the bar to ensure that our delivery matches or surpasses the services available at other leading circuits.”
BIC Chief Executive Shaikh Salman bin Isa Al Khalifa extended his appreciation to Abdulla and Batelco for their reliability in finalising the provisioning of the latest technology for BIC.
“By being able to provide superfast 4G LTE to visitors, Bahrain’s International Circuit becomes the first International Racing Circuit in the Middle East to offer permanent 4G LTE technology. This meets with our commitment to be amongst the top venues when it comes to quality of services provided,” Shaikh Salman, said.
“Both Batelco and BIC share a common goal to position the Kingdom of Bahrain as a leading destination for business and leisure and accordingly continually upgrade and enhance their services by investing annually in their infrastructures,” Shaikh Salman, added.
4G LTE provides the ultimate mobile experience with amazing download speeds. 4G (Fourth Generation) is a wireless technology that’s designed to reduce the time it takes to transfer and receive data online. LTE (Long Term Evolution), which significantly boosts customer experience has tremendous potential thanks to speeds not previously available in the Kingdom of Bahrain, which ensures instant access without waiting, streaming without buffering and an enhanced online gaming experience, in addition to super fast download and also upload speeds.
Advanced telecommunication products and services are key to ensuring that the Kingdom of Bahrain remains competitive in the region’s business market and without doubt Batelco’s 4G Network will be a significant benefit for all sectors including financial, health, education and sports.
