Batelco provides mobile coverage on Jarada island

Batelco has delivered mobile coverage for Jarada island, becoming the first telecoms provider to offer connectivity on the island in Bahrain.

The company stated that the new Batelco mobile coverage will boost the experience of visitors to Jarada, increasing safety and allow Batelco customers to spend time on the island without worrying about their connectivity or being off the grid.

Jarada island is located 32 kilometres East of the capital Manama and is a popular destination for visitors and boaters, who want to enjoy the sea and relax on the beautiful sand island.

According to the Bahrain-based telco, its mobile service is now available on the island and customers will be able to use voice, data and video call services including MS teams, WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and more.

Rashid Mohamed, General Manager: Networks, Batelco, said: “Batelco’s mobile network already provides the best coverage throughout Bahrain and we are committed to ensuring that our networks reach all areas with reliable connectivity.”

Mohamed explained that the company is always eager to find solutions that meet its customers’ requirements and it continues to make very significant investments in the Batelco mobile network.

“We recognised the need for coverage in this off-shore island of Bahrain as many people enjoy boating especially at the weekends and Batelco wanted to support their connectivity needs and also their safety, which is of utmost importance,” he said.

He explained that Batelco achieved the new coverage of Jarada island by its highly skilled team of technicians deploying a custom-made solution to achieve improved range and quality of radio coverage over the sea and a testament to the on-going improvement of the Batelco network in Bahrain.
