The migration from the old network to the new state-of-the-art NGN will take place between the hours of 2am and 5am to ensure the least disturbance to customers.

NGN services facilitate triple play (Voice, Data & Video) on a single line which traditionally only carried voice telephone services.

The service will allow new customers to connect to Batelco Broadband Internet within one day, from a process that usually took two weeks prior to migration.

'Batelco's NGN will deliver our promise to bring affordable broadband access to all of Bahrain's households and enable an e-lifestyle for all residents sharing information, education and entertainment,' said Batelco Group Board Secretary & Company spokesman Ahmed Al Janahi.

Following the migration, customers will notice a different dial tone on their landline phone. Additionally, some StarDial services may need to be reset and some internet equipment may need to be rebooted.
