VIVA Bahrain, the Kingdom’s most innovative telecom provider, has received from the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) the spectrum enabling it to deploy 4G/LTE services on its high-speed network across the entire Kingdom of Bahrain. The spectrum allocation was implemented by an award process by the TRA in accordance with Bahrain’s Telecommunications Law.
“We are delighted with the positive outcome and are thankful for the TRA for the fairness and swiftness of the award process held under the supervision of Dr. Mohammed A. Al Amer, Chairman of the TRA, and the direction from Shaikh Fawaz Bin Mohammed Al Khalifa, Minister of State for Telecommunications Affairs. This is a step forward for Bahrain that will lead to the provisioning of faster and more widespread mobile broadband, and will provide substantial benefits for consumers and businesses across the country,” Ulaiyan Al Wetaid, VIVA’s CEO, said.
