Beyon
Bahraini telecom group operating data centers and AI-ready infrastructure through Batelco by Beyon
Overview
Beyon is the Bahraini telecommunications and digital services group formerly known as Batelco (founded 1981), which rebranded as Beyon starting December 2022 and changed its stock ticker from BATELCO to BEYON in June 2023.
Under the Batelco by Beyon brand, the group commissioned Bahrain’s first white space data center in November 2025, a 6,000 square-meter facility forming part of its 140,000 square-meter Data Oasis site in southern Bahrain, engineered for AI workloads, cloud service providers, hyperscalers, government entities and large enterprises, and partly powered by an adjacent solar park.
Beyon also announced a strategic partnership with Qareeb Data Centers to deliver sovereign, low-latency, AI-ready colocation services across the GCC. Beyond data centers, the wider Beyon group spans consumer telecom, fintech (Beyon Money) and other digital businesses, but this profile focuses on its data center and AI infrastructure activity.
