Bank of Bahrain and Kuwait (BBK) is providing $200 million in finance to Beyon for a submarine cable systems project.
Beyon, through Batelco, has joined the SEA-ME-WE 6 (Southeast Asia-Middle East-Western Europe) consortium, which is building an undersea telecommunications cable system connecting Bahrain with 14 other countries across 3 continents, and the financing by BBK will enable Beyon’s participation in this project .
