TRA raises awareness with 5G Network Training Session

Mobilk - The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA), in collaboration with Huawei, Ericsson & The GSM Association, held a 5G network training session for telecom service providers, government officials and business leaders in the Kingdom of Bahrain at the Sofitel Hotel, Zallaq on Tuesday the 26th of November2019. The event is aimed at raising awareness of the next wave of 5G technology and cultivating local ICT talent under the umbrella of the Fourth National Telecoms Plan (NTP4).

Among the subjects discussed in the panel and workshop was 5G motivation and developments in the market, 5G network architecture and key technologies, as well as presenting recent use cases for 5G and international best practices. It also addressed the key challenges facing the sector, including the procedures needed to embrace the Kingdoms telecommunications networks.

The 5G age in Bahrain is inevitable as companies are working to phase out the next level of technology nationally. TRA says mobile service carriers began deploying 5G towers as early as July 2019, rendering the Kingdom a leader in implementing 5G not only in the country, but worldwide.
