TCIL played a key role for the successful migrations of existing Batelco Telephone Exchanges from legacy network to the new next generation network (NGN). Project started on September 07 and completed on January 09 and during the period 1,76,000 lines were migrated from the old exchanges to new generation NGN. TCIL joined hands with Huawei and TCIL was assigned the works related to correction of data, termination of cables, Jumpering and removal works on MDF and testing of PSTN,ISDN,ADSLand PABX lines for 36 exchanges. The entire work was completed within a period of 17 months. The completion of the US $ 57 Million project has given honour to Bahrain of being the first country in the world with complete country wide broadband. When Batelco embarked on the road to migrate their existing network over to a new network using 21st century technology in 2005, they anticipated that it would take them more than 5 years to implement.

However through supreme efforts of Batelco, Huawei and TCIL,which involved training to our technicians with the new skills necessary to understand and implement the new technologies, the time frame was reduced considerably. The new generation NGN services would facilitate triple play (voice, data and video) on a single line which traditionally only carried voice telephone services. Significantly, the service will allow new customers to connect to Batelco broad band internet on the same day, from a process that usually took up to one week prior to migration. Batelco’s NGN will deliver their promise to bring affordable broadband access to all of Bahrain’s households making them among the best connected in the world.
