Turk Telekom Joins Hands With Huawei To Aim For Greater Success In 5G/5G-A

Every iteration and evolution of mobile communication technology bursts out with strong momentum, driving the leapfrog development of the industry and even the entire society. Nowadays, with the imminent freezing of the 3GPP Rel-18 standard and the continuous emergence of new scenarios, new services, and new demands, the industry has set off a wave towards 5G-A. Turk Telekom is one of Turkey's mainstream telecom operators, with more than 26 million mobile users. With its insistence on good user experience and persistent efforts in the network, it has achieved great commercial success in the LTE era and has contributed to this. has made outstanding contributions to China’s digital transformation. It is worth mentioning that it won the first place in the 2023 Umlaut network public test in multiple cities including Istanbul.

Facing the 5G era and the commercial launch of 5G-A, how will Turk Telekom continue its success in LTE? As a strategic partner of Turk Telekom, what kind of help will Huawei provide? Ahmet Fethi Ayhan, Network Director of Turkey Telecom, and Hou Yingzhen, Director of Huawei's 5G Wireless Marketing and Solution Sales Department, jointly attended WinWin's high-end interviews and conducted in-depth discussions on these issues.

Turkish User Experience Leader

Umlaut network public test is a recognized third-party authoritative test in the communications industry. It mainly evaluates the operator's network data, voice and game experience through competitive tests. The results can objectively reflect the operator's network performance and competitiveness. Being able to take the lead in multiple cities also highlights, to a certain extent, Turkey Telecom's position as the leader in its home market. "Providing users with a good network experience has always been Turkey Telecom's primary responsibility." Ahmet Fethi Ayhan said. To this end, this operator has been committed to investing in wireless networks for many years. Through continuous construction, expansion and optimization, it has built An LTE-A network with excellent coverage, quality, and energy efficiency. Based on this, it has doubled the scale of VoLTE business in the past three years and currently has 13 million VoLTE users.

Join Hands With Huawei To Win The 5G Era

Facing the 5G era, Turk Telekom will focus on two major areas: spectrum and energy efficiency. Ahmet Fethi Ayhan pointed out that the 5G network must be a highly collaborative network of TDD+FDD. Turk Telekom will continue to optimize spectrum resources and adopt the most advanced technology to achieve the best spectrum efficiency. For example, NR FDD is deployed in the Sub-3G frequency band to achieve wide coverage of 5G signals, and NR TDD is deployed in C-Band to provide the ultimate experience in hotspot areas.

Hou Yingzhen shared that Huawei helps operators achieve commercial success in the 5G era from two aspects. On the one hand, as the world's leading provider of ICT solutions, Huawei can help operators efficiently build 5G networks. This is mainly due to the company's investment of more than 10% of sales revenue into R&D and innovation every year. On the other hand, Huawei can help operators realize commercial value from 5G development. Based on global best practices, the company summarizes 5G monetization into three stages: The first is traffic monetization, which helps operators migrate 4G users to 5G networks as quickly as possible, achieve rapid growth in 5G penetration and traffic, and form a business Positive cycle. The second is 5G FWA, which helps operators provide fiber-like mobile broadband access and richer digital life applications to home users conveniently and flexibly, and helps improve the broadband level of the country where the operator is located. Currently, 50% of operators choose to deploy 5G FWA. The third is 5GtoB, which helps operators further deepen the digital transformation of the industry and promote toB revenue growth. A large number of excellent 5GtoB cases have emerged in China. By bringing Chinese experience and proven 5GtoB solutions overseas, Huawei is expected to greatly promote the development of 5GtoB services for operators such as Turkey Telecom.

Directly Launch 5G-A For Overtaking In Curves

With all factors in place, 2024 is recognized as the first year of 5G-A commercialization, and many operators have announced relevant plans and timetables. GSMA President Mats Granryd also said during MWC24 Barcelona that research shows that more than 50% of operators plan to deploy 5G-A within a year.

Hou Yingzhen mentioned that from a terminal perspective, 3CC terminals are relatively mature. Whether it is chips, mobile phones or CPE for home scenarios, a number of 5G-A commercial products have been launched; on the network side, Huawei has released a full range of 5G-A commercial products. A series of 5G-A products and solutions help global operators adapt to local conditions and efficiently build 5G-A networks based on multiple paths based on their own network conditions; in terms of applications, 5G scenarios continue to upgrade and expand, "connecting people, connected things, connected vehicles, and connected industries" ", connected home" business will bring huge commercial value and social and economic value, driving a wider and more profound industrial revolution. Ahmet Fethi Ayhan believes that Turkey Telecom will refer to the successful experience of the LTE era and directly launch half-generation technology to achieve "overtaking in corners": "We will provide users with the best 5G-A network experience and cooperate with Huawei to carry out some Key toB business, building 5G-A smart cities in Turkey."

A good network creates a good experience. Based on its own experience, Turk Telekom revealed to us the necessity for operators to maintain investment in network strategies and choose leading technology solution vendors as partners. With Huawei's multi-dimensional and all-round support, we have reason to believe that Turk Telekom will upgrade wireless networks more efficiently and accurately, improve user experience, and expand business boundaries, thereby achieving greater success in the new era and contributing to the region's development. Set a benchmark.
