Enabling Bahrain Bay's digital connectivity will be Alloptic's GEPON (Gigabit Ethernet Passive Optical Networks) next generation access network solution. Alloptic is a US based global leader in the design and development of optical access networks and its solution will provide Bahrain Bay's complete communications, entertainment, security, and building management systems infrastructure.
Residents and visitors will benefit from constant access to wireless broadband connectivity within Bahrain Bay, enabling use of the increasing range of business and consumer devices which offer services and communication tools through wireless Internet access. Bahrain Bay's digital connectivity will also allow residents and visitors to access up to the minute information about cultural events within Bahrain Bay as well as being able to interact with their immediate environment, such as controlling the type of background music to be played in a specific public area. The digital access network will also provide the platform for a next generation approach to Bahrain Bay's building management needs, with many facilities services being controlled and automated through the network.
Bob Vincent, CEO of Bahrain Bay said,
"Bahrain Bay is committed to helping develop a commercially sound and ecologically viable approach to development. Our goal is to ensure that Bahrain Bay is a self-governing and self sustaining community, supporting an exceptional quality of life for residents, businesses, and visitors alike. In developing the Bahrain Bay community, we recognized early on the importance that digital connectivity plays in both residential life and creating enhanced productivity for businesses. Identifying, locating and deploying the right communications infrastructure has been an integral part of our development process. We believe that the Alloptic solution provides us with the world class infrastructure Bahrain Bay demands."
"It's exciting for Alloptic to be partnering with Bahrain Bay to help them deliver their vision of a waterfront community designed to support the way residents will live their lives in an increasingly connected world," said Ric Johnsen, President and CEO of Alloptic. "Our optical access network will be responsible for delivering instant access to a wide range of community services, enabling broadband Internet access and ensuring a high quality of building services."
Alongside Raffles City, Bahrain Bay will also host the new HQ building for Arcapita, the leading international investment firm and lead investor in the project, as well as the Kingdom's only Four Seasons Hotel.
