Bahrain Network (BNET), the national company responsible for providing fiber-based broadband network in Bahrain, announced the completion of an emergency simulation exercise.

"Our ongoing commitment to launching exercises and tests reflects our tireless efforts to enhance the efficiency of our network and offer elevated services that aim to develop the experience of both individual and enterprise customers," he added.
Eman Hafedh, Head of Risk Management and Business Continuity at BNET expressed her pleasure in the successful completion of the emergency simulation exercise.
