Zain Business has signed a strategic agreement with Orchid Developers to provide high-speed fibre connectivity across all Orchid Towers, marking a major milestone in Bahrain’s progression toward smart residential and commercial developments. This collaboration positions Orchid Towers among the Kingdom’s first high-rise clusters to feature telecom-grade infrastructure on a large scale, with Zain leading the charge in Bahrain’s next-generation digital real estate.
As the B2B arm of Zain Bahrain, Zain Business will deploy advanced fibre-optic and wireless networks throughout Orchid’s properties. This initiative aligns with Zain’s broader vision to accelerate Bahrain’s digital transformation by integrating smart infrastructure within high-density urban living spaces.
Ali Mustafa, Chief of Business and Wholesale Officer at Zain Bahrain, highlighted the partnership’s significance: “We are honoured to work with Orchid Developers to deliver high-performance internet to their landmark projects. Our goal is to set new standards for smart connectivity in Bahrain’s high-rise buildings and properties.”
Orchid Developers, a pioneer in freehold commercial and residential projects in Bahrain, views the partnership as a key step toward enhancing residents’ and tenants’ quality of life. Dr. Bashar Ahmadi, CEO of Orchid Developers, said, “This collaboration guarantees that our communities benefit from future-ready digital solutions, enhancing convenience, value, and sustainability in everything we build.”
The project responds to a growing demand for plug-and-play digital services within Bahrain’s urban housing market, especially among younger, tech-savvy residents who regard seamless internet access as vital as basic utilities like water and electricity.
Beyond traditional telecom services, Zain Business is expanding its portfolio to include IoT, cloud platforms, and smart solutions, supporting diverse enterprise and residential needs. The partnership with Orchid signals a trend of closer collaboration between developers and telecom providers to shape Bahrain’s connected urban future.
As high-rise developments become central to Bahrain’s cityscapes, the Zain-Orchid alliance could serve as a model for infrastructure providers and developers designing the next generation of smart buildings.
