Manama – Bahrain Network (BNET), the national fiber network provider in the Kingdom of Bahrain, has won the “Best Smart Home Customer Experience” award at the global Network X Awards, held in Vienna, Austria, in recognition of its nationwide launch of the Fiber to the Room (FTTR) service.

The win came after competing against leading global telecommunications operators and technology providers from several countries, affirming that leadership in the telecommunications sector is no longer measured by speed alone, but by the quality of the experience customers enjoy within their homes.

The Fiber to the Room (FTTR) service is an extension of BNET’s journey in bringing fiber connectivity to every doorstep in the Kingdom. The service delivers high speeds through thin, discreet fiber wiring run from the main router to sub-devices in selected rooms, without the need for drilling walls and with same day installation. It guarantees consistent speeds and a stable connection throughout the house, meeting the demands for ultra-HD streaming, online gaming, and smart home applications

This national achievement is built on the integrated infrastructure BNET has developed over the past years. Its network now covers 99.2% of inhabited residences in the Kingdom, enabling the service to be launched on a comprehensive, nationwide scale.

Commenting on the win, Sh. Ebrahim bin Mohamed Al Khalifa, Chief Commercial Officer at BNET, said: “We are proud of this global recognition, which adds a new achievement to the Kingdom of Bahrain’s record in the telecommunications sector. We brought fiber to the door of every home in the Kingdom, and today we are bringing it to every room, so that all residents can enjoy Gigabit speeds wherever they are in their homes. Experience is the new benchmark, and we will continue to adopt the latest technological solutions to enhance the quality of digital life for individuals and families in Bahrain.”

This achievement embodies BNET’s firm commitment to providing the latest global technologies in the telecommunications sector, strengthening its position as a leading national provider of digital infrastructure. The company will continue investing in the development of its network and the adoption of innovative solutions, contributing to the Kingdom’s digital transformation journey and the goals of Bahrain Economic Vision 2030.
