Business Wire
NB IOT (NarrowBand - Internet of Things)
offered by select global operators is now in commercial use in
Turkey by Turkcell. This technology which can be used by many
industries from energy and healthcare to logistics and education
will allow machines to communicate with each other via Turkcell’s
LTE - A infrastructure.
Turkcell (NYSE:TKC) (BIST:TCELL) continuing to invest in LTE - A
infrastructure, became the first operator in Turkey to support NB
IOT (NarrowBand-Internet of Things) required for new-gen innovative
applications on LTE – A networks. NarrowBand technology is an upper
segment of IoT (Internet of Things) which allows things to
communicate over the internet like the people. With the NarrowBand
IoT technology, sensors in smart cities will communicate the
measuring results to a platform with short delay times provided by
LTE - A. Data collected by the sensors and communicated to cloud
via LTE - A network will be turned into meaningful data which add
to the city environment through big data analyses.
“We support our network with the latest technologies and
continue to be a technology leader”
Gediz Sezgin, Turkcell's Executive Vice President Network
Technologies, says “While our living spaces become more and
more “connected” every day, Turkcell’s mobile infrastructure is now
ready for a world where billions of devices will connect. We became
the first operator in Turkey to support NB IOT (NarrowBand-Internet
of Things) required for new-gen innovative applications. 5G’s
essential ‘NarrowBand Internet of Things’ is in Turkey for the
first time by Turkcell. So we open the door to 5G. NarrowBand -
Internet of Things will extend smart city applications and many
innovative solutions will be developed. It is expected that the
economy created by this technology as of 2025 will exceed USD 3
trillion. Offering a technology which will create such a volume
requires a very strong LTE - A infrastructure. We offer the first
and the best NarrowBand - Internet of Things services in Turkey
thanks to the advantages and broad coverage of the frequencies. As
Turkcell, we will continue to research and invest to introduce the
most contemporary technologies.”
Thanks to this new technology made possible by Turkcell’s LTE -
A network, machines communicate fast and effectively and makes
lives easier and smarter in cities. As an example this technology
can be used in large cities where parking space is a problem, where
sensors which communicate fast allow people to reserve parking
spaces in advance and save time and fuel. Sensors installed on
garbage containers allow the garbage to be collected on time based
on fill rate. Smart sensors make remote monitoring of water and gas
levels easier.
On the other hand, this technology brings a new vision to
agriculture and livestock industries. Automatic irrigation of
cultivated areas based on measurement of humidity improve the crop
yield and tracking applications for livestock are made more
effective and easier. This new technology contributes to the
organizations by changing their way of doing business and
facilitates tracking of human health. This helps tracking health
and sport activities through body sensors and ensures that the
necessary interventions in a timely manner.
