Batelco, the leading digital solutions provider in Bahrain has announced the establishment of "Global Zone Kuwait“, which will offer an ecosystem platform to further support the enablement of digital transformation in the region.



In line with Batelco's strategic agenda to cater to the ever-growing regional data demands, Batelco has selected Ooredoo - the first telecom company to provide innovative digital services in Kuwait - as a strategic partner to enable the rollout of Global Zone's regional expansion and support the growing regional ICT and connectivity needs.



As a result of further growing Global Zone and expanding into new markets, a seamless data centre interconnection is created and entirely powered by FASTtelco, the leading internet service provider (ISP) in Kuwait; acquired by Ooredoo in 2016.  Featuring state-of-the-art high density designed systems, Global Zone Kuwait is being developed rapidly and supported by a superhighway network infrastructure. This entails Batelco's wholly owned terrestrial cable system, Batelco Gulf Network (BGN), ensuring both cost effective solutions to the end customers and superior performance.
