Batelco’s Bahrain based and international
enterprise customers.

Batelco is the first in the Kingdom to offer
the SD-WAN 2.0 ‘SmartConnect’ service
as part of its digital business strategy,
where SD-WAN 2.0 technology can use
Software Defined Networks (SDN) over
any type of Wide Area Network (WAN).
Batelco customers can enjoy advanced
control over their network, allowing
network traffic segmentation where data
transmissions can be prioritised on reliable
pathways and less-critical traffic routed to
public Internet connections.
Batelco GM Enterprise Division,
Abderrahmane Mounir, said: “We
are delighted to announce the
launch of ‘SmartConnect’, which will
allow enterprise customers to have
comprehensive control over their networks
and efficiently carry out their business
with improved capability.
“We are extremely proud to be the first to
launch this service in the Kingdom. The
launch of ‘SmartConnect’ is in line with
our digitisation strategy to position the
company as a leader in providing digital
communication solutions in the Kingdom
of Bahrain and the region.”
