Manama, June 6 (BNA): The Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA) has issued its 2022 report on the quality of service for mobile networks in the Kingdom. This comprehensive audit aims to provide an accurate assessment of Bahrain’s mobile network performance and user experience based on three key areas: mobile coverage, quality of service and billing.
According to the research, 5G download speeds in Bahrain have reached a peak of 3.2Gbps, allowing consumers to connect faster. Moreover, average download speeds for 4G have more than doubled since 2020, rising from 85 Mbps in 2020 to 266 Mbps in 2022.
“Almost all of us use mobile services every day. Good quality of service for a mobile phone is essential. Our mobile audit shows that the quality of all three mobile networks and the services they support are good and continue to improve,” Philippe Marnik, TRA General Manager said.
“A mobile audit by the TRA is a comprehensive review of network performance. To ensure that the results reflect the true performance of networks and services, some unreliable data had to be removed. This has resulted in the increased quality of service that we see.”
“These achievements are the result of collaborative efforts between the TRA, mobile network operators (MNOs) and other stakeholders across Bahrain’s telecom industry,” he said.
The TRA’s QoS audit explored different areas of user experience, such as download and upload speeds, response time, performance of social networking applications, and browsing of web pages. The report emphasizes the progress of the mobile network, with 5G technology from all three mobile network operators (MNOs) providing coverage across the entire population.
