Batelco, part of the Beyon Group, has launched ‘B Spectrum’, a pioneering service designed to transform data connectivity across Bahrain and the broader Middle East.
‘B Spectrum’ service seeks to elevate Batelco’s end user experience by providing customers with enhanced flexibility and scalability in their network Infrastructure.
The new service is powered by Ciena’s cutting-edge optical technology, and runs over Batelco’s Network. Ciena is a pioneer in optical and routing systems, services, and automation software.

The solution offers a flexible and efficient alternative to traditional lit services and dark fiber, with the key advantage being it provides customers with greater network control and scalability to meet their evolving data requirements at a lower cost.
Customers can dynamically adjust their bandwidth as needed, scaling up or down to align with fluctuating business demands. This enhanced flexibility empowers businesses to tailor their network infrastructure with precision.
