Turkcell is starting a new era in digitalization.

An important step has been taken in Turkey's digitalization process. The Information and Communication Technologies Authority (BTK)'s 5G licensing tender has opened the doors to a significant investment in Turkey's digital future. This historic tender has the potential to change the dynamics of the sector, and Turkcell has once again solidified its leading position in this process.

One of the three mobile operators participating in the tender, Turkcell, purchased a total of 160 MHz frequency band for 1 billion 224 million dollars thanks to the advanced frequency capacity it obtained in the tender. With this agreement, Turkcell has managed to become the operator with the highest frequency capacity in Turkey. The frequencies acquired will play a critical role in the development of 5G technology.

5G will not only provide faster internet connections but also strengthen Turkey's digital economy and pave the way for innovative solutions in various sectors. Dr. Ali Taha Koç, the General Manager of Turkcell, emphasized that the innovations provided by this technology will create a better standard of living for everyone in Turkey and a competitive market.

In addition, the innovations brought by 5G will include areas such as the Internet of Things (IoT), smart city applications, and augmented/virtual reality projects. These technologies offer significant opportunities for both individual users and businesses and allow for the reshaping of business processes.

With Turkcell's victory in this tender, a turning point is being experienced in Turkey's digitalization journey. These developments in the sector will strengthen not only mobile communication but also the country’s overall technology infrastructure. At the same time, it aims to contribute to reducing inequalities in citizens' internet access, targeting a more inclusive future in terms of digitalization.

In conclusion, Turkcell's success in the 5G frequency tender demonstrates that a new chapter has been opened in Turkey's digitalization process. In the coming years, it is expected that the Turkish economy and technological infrastructure will become more competitive in the global market due to such investments.
