The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) has awarded Rawabi Telecommunications and Software (RTS) two more licences.

The company has received a National Fixed Licence (NFL) to provide fixed telephony services and an International Facilities Licence (IFL) to provide international data and voice access to customers.

Rawabi, under the NFL, is licensed to provide national termination to its customers, national and international VoIP telephony services with its own numbering range, and also offer customers with special and premium telephone numbers for their use.

RTS is planning to approach the TRA for national numbers, premium numbers, special numbers and short codes.

These numbers, according to the National Numbering Plan, would be allocated to RTS within 28 days from the date of application.

RTS, a subsidiary of Saudi-based Rawabi Holding Group of Companies, is launching its telecommunications services in Bahrain through its fully owned subsidiary Next Generation Network Solutions. - TradeArabia News service
