Zain Bahrain has announced plans to enhance its network coverage footprint which will allow improvements and help meet increasing customer demand.

The network expansion is part of ongoing efforts to expand 4G LTE coverage using the latest generation of wireless network technology in order to deliver an advanced mobile experience, the company said without specifying how much was being invested.

"The second phase of the network transformation programme will aim to enhance capacity in the existing base and roll-out new sites across the kingdom," said Zain Bahrain network director Hamad Al Romaihi.

He said the network expansion is expected to result in seamless and stronger connectivity for customers and the company will continue to invest in new technologies and services.

Zain Bahrain, however, did say the plan was a part of a $100 million network transformation programme, started in April last year, and deployed by technology solution provider Ericsson following the signing of a four-year managed services agreement.
