**Major Enhancements Demonstrate Batelco’s Capabilities**

Batelco, the Kingdom of Bahrain’s leading communications company, has signed a new agreement with Bahrain Polytechnic, a critical educational institute in the Kingdom, to provide fast, robust and secure communications solutions which will greatly benefit the institute.

Batelco Business Division General Manager Adel Daylami and Bahrain Polytechnic Acting Chief Executive Dr. Mohamed Al Aseeri signed the agreement at the Bahrain Polytechnic campus recently.

The solution consists of data connectivity, networking and related applications with full-fledged support, enabling Bahrain Polytechnic to manage and prioritise their communications efficiently. Thus facilitating their transition to the next generation and achieving their mission of education.

Mr Al Daylami expressed his pleasure at signing this agreement with the institute and said “This is one of many agreements we will be signing this year to empower education in Bahrain. We will continue to invest in empowering more universities to ensure that the students of Bahrain have access to the best telecommunications services in the Kingdom.  We are delighted to support the educational development of Bahrain Polytechnic”.

Dr. Mohamed Al Aseeri elaborated by stating “Partnering with Batelco was a strategic decision as the strategic approach of both organisations was to further develop Bahrain’s human resources – and especially our students, whom we want to build up in order to meet the requirements of the labour market, meeting the goals of the government’s work program 2011-2014 and Bahrain’s Vision 2030.”
