Diyar Al Muharraq to install telecom towers within Bahrain

The first telecommunications tower will be constructed and operated within Deerat Al Oyoun, and an additional tower will be installed to serve Al Naseem and the ERA project

Bahrain-based real estate development company Diyar Al Muharraq has signed an agreement with Zain Bahrain to install two telecommunication towers in the city.

The two parties discussed collaboration prospects to improve quality of life, operational efficiency and services throughout the masterplan; as per the smart cities’ standards and requirements. This comes in line with Diyar Al Muharraq’s commitment to strengthen cooperation with local telecommunication companies and the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) in order to extend the range of signal coverage to all areas across Diyar Al Muharraq.

The first telecommunications tower will be constructed and operated within Deerat Al Oyoun, and an additional tower will be installed to serve Al Naseem and the ERA project, providing better mobile network and internet services for residents and visitors alike.

Both towers will contribute to achieving Diyar Al Muharraq’s goal of installing 13 towers as per its current agenda for the city’s communications network. Following implementation of the TRA’s plan to rectify the conditions of the existing telecom towers and reduce the number of towers, the new structures will be shared by all telecommunication companies operating in the Kingdom of Bahrain.

Commenting on this occasion, Mohammed Zainalabedin, Managing Director at Zain Bahrain said, “We are expanding our network coverage in Bahrain via this collaboration with Diyar Al Muharraq, one of the top companies in the real estate sector. We mutually aim to achieve Bahrain’s vision of providing strong telecommunications, internet infrastructure and a robust network, which will benefit residents and visitors of the development.”

For his part, Eng. Ahmed Al Ammadi, Chief Executive Officer of Diyar Al Muharraq, said, “We are proud to be taking one step further towards achieving our goal of providing comprehensive, high-quality infrastructure for Diyar Al Muharraq’s residents and visitors. The new telecommunication towers will enable wider coverage for mobile and internet networks throughout the City and neighboring areas. As part of the City’s ongoing development, we look forward to collaborating with service providers to install additional telecommunication towers in the future.”

Recently, Diyar Al Muharraq signed a MoU with stc Bahrain, a digital enabler, to construct and operate additional telecommunication towers, improving network connection and internet services in these areas.
