Tata Communications and Bahrain Internet Exchange (BIX) have extended their partnership to offer high-speed internet connectivity in Bahrain. Using an Optical Transport Unit (OTU-4) on the TGN-Gulf subsea cable system will create a robust, consistent, and manageable data transport infrastructure with the ability to scale up beyond 100Gbps.

In addition, to extend the TGN-Gulf cable system into business districts across the Middle East, Tata Communications is leveraging its existing partnerships with regional carriers in the likes of Oman, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia, to offer an end-to-end carrier-neutral cable system.

As a result, the cable system seamlessly integrates into the Middle East and offers direct connectivity to Europe, India, and onwards to the rest of the world. “Keeping pace with Bahrain’s growing bandwidth requirements, the country needs new cable systems that are of high speed, well-laid, and help bring global content closer to the country”, said Shaima Al Hamed, executive director at BIX.
