“We are excited to be the first operator in Bahrain to enable RedCap Network Readiness for Commercialisation,” said Eng Ahmed Al-Sharif, CTDO of STC Bahrain. 

“We believe that RedCap’s application in our 5G and 5G-advanced strategy has a huge potential; with moderate speeds, low latency and adaptability to IoT such as wearables, AR/VR, CCTV, it will provide reliable and efficient solutions across various sectors, making a positive impact on businesses and communities.”

“Moreover, it will play a major role in the future of energy-efficient mobile communications and further digitise the development of Bahrain as a smart and connected society,” added Al-Sharif. 

The trial is also a major step forward for the development of RedCap in the region where STC Bahrain is demonstrating its commitment to innovation and leadership in deploying next-generation wireless technologies.
