The upgrade will take place between the hours of 12am and 8am in order to minimise any disruption of services for customers. However, some customers may experience difficulty with their connection for a maximum of 5mins in certain areas.

During the upgrade Batelco will activate additional new capacity to boost coverage across Bahrain. This measure is being taken to offset the effect of a loss of some mobile spectrum which is being released to the TRA (Telecommunication Regulatory Authority) at their request.

"The new sites with additional capacity will also ensure that Batelco continues to deliver unmatched mobile services for its growing number of customers,"
said Batelco Chief Technical Officer Ebrahim Zainal.
