Bahrain's leading telecom company Batelco said it has been selected by Rotana Group as its preferred ICT and telecommunication partner in the kingdom.

Rotana Group, the largest entertainment company in the Arab World, chose to set up its operational head office in Bahrain and accordingly required a top quality, reliable network to serve its publication and corporate communication requirements.

As per the deal, Batelco will provide a turnkey solution for Rotana's network security, unified communication and telecommunication requirements.

The solution, delivered in collaboration with industry leader Cisco, has been used to address Rotana Bahrain’s communication requirements.

Batelco worked closely with Rotana Group’s IT team leader Daneh Abuahmad to identify its specialised requirements.

Enhanced security was a key requirement to the design and additionally, the Rotana team wanted to ensure that they were able to control their  published application through Citrix  besides guaranteeing sufficient uptime for applications

Batelco was required to implement the setup with minimal downtime as IT operations worked in tandem with the current Saudi setup. Batelco’s experienced project management and deployment teams worked closely with Rotana to ensure the efficient delivery of key Cisco technologies based on Unified Borderless networking, unified communication and enterprise networking.

Batelco Business division general manager Adel Daylami said that Batelco was very pleased to deliver enhanced ICT solutions to meet Rotana’s specific requirements.
