Tata Communications (Tata Comm) and Baharain-based digital communications provider Batelco have inked an alliance in which the Indian firm will strengthen data connectivity in the Middle East.
“The combination of these networks and infrastructures will offer service providers highly resilient network connectivity with increased reach in the Middle East and globally,” said the Tata Sons’ promoted company in a regulatory filing Monday.
The Indian company said that collaboration will bring together Tata Comms’ global Tier-1 IP network and its new partnership IP node with Batelco in Global Zone – the Carrier Neutral Tier-3 certified data centre in Bahrain, and the recently launched protected terrestrial cable system of the Batelco Gulf Network (BGN).
“Through our partnership to-date, we’ve extended the reach of our respective data centre, cloud and connectivity capabilities,” said Vaneet Mehta, Tata Communications region head, Middle East, Central Asia & Africa. Our new collaboration with Batelco strengthens this relationship further. It helps service providers, MNOs and ISPs in the Gulf future-proof their capabilities and address their customers’ growing data connectivity including Tier 1 IP network requirements,” he added.
