Batelco Partners Türk Telekom to expand global presence and strengthen data offerings

In line with its global expansion plans, Batelco has signed a series of agreements with different operators across the world. As part of this effort, Türk Telekom International (TTI) now joins Batelco’s diversified portfolio of global partners.

Türk Telekom International is a leading telecommunication operator in Central and Eastern Europe, Turkey, Caucasus, the Middle East and Asia, providing a full range of Internet and data infrastructure, data center and wholesale voice services and solutions.

Batelco stresses the importance of forming strategic partnerships with organizations that share a similar vision, to drive its growth plans forward and provide exceptional value to its customers.

The new cooperation with Türk Telecom fits neatly with Batelco’s major plans to expand its global presence and solidify its global data offerings.

Global data connectivity has become a necessity for businesses as operations are increasingly digitized and data intensive. Accordingly, the availability of a resilient and reliable data connection can be considered as a crucial element required by these businesses.

The Batelco-Türk Telekom International agreement will meet this demand and further support organizations with their complex world-wide connectivity requirements.

This new partnership will allow the two organizations to access each other’s networks thereby enabling them to extend their reach into newer markets. This will further reinforce Batelco’s positioning, especially in the Middle Eastern and Eurasian regions, and will allow customers and carriers more access and reliability. Similarly, Türk Telekom International will be able to utilize Batelco’s presence to reach its customers in more locations.

Batelco Chief Global Business Officer Adel Al-Daylami and Türk Telekom International CEO Cengiz Oztelcan signed the agreement.

"We are continuing with our expansion plans at a very rapid pace," said Al-Daylami.
"We are looking forward to the partnership with Türk Telekom International and are sure it will open new avenues of cooperation for both our organizations allowing us to provide services at outstanding value," added Al Daylami.

"Additionally, this partnership is likely to strengthen the Bahraini market as partnerships with well-established operators like Türk Telekom International help Batelco in being a driving force to capture investment opportunities for the Kingdom of Bahrain," he added.

Oztelcan said, "The new partnership is another milestone in Türk Telekom International‘s history and it further boosts TTI’s geographical expansion into new markets."

"It is our pleasure to partner with a leading company like Batelco which has been scoring tremendous successes in the area of reliable and sustainable connectivity. This partnership will allow both of us to provide world class connectivity through the joint networks," Oztelcan added.
