• The deployment of the latest generation energy-efficient dual and triple-band radios enables Turkcell to deliver 4G and 5G services across spectrum layers with a single unit for a more efficient implementation.
• The Ericsson dual and triple-band radios enable multiple layers with a single unit, reducing the number of equipment normally required, energy usage and deployment time.

Turkcell has deployed energy-efficient products from the Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) Radio Access Network portfolio, to address site deployment challenges while providing substantial energy savings.

The deployment of Ericsson's dual and triple-band radios, enables Turkcell to simultaneously deliver 4G and 5G services across the 700 MHz, 800 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2100 MHz, and 2600 MHz spectrum layers with a single unit. This innovation minimizes the amount of equipment typically required. The accelerated, large-scale deployment of these radios has helped decrease the network’s overall energy consumption by up to 30 percent, while also reducing site footprint and deployment time.

As networks evolve and demand on radio sites grows, site acquisition and installation requirements become more challenging, and the need to reduce the network's carbon footprint becomes more pressing. To address this, Ericsson provides equipment, conducts demonstrations and test cases, and offers performance assessments to support Turkcell in achieving these goals and minimizing environmental impact.

Prof. Dr. Vehbi Çağrı Güngör, Chief Technology Officer of Turkcell, says: "We are excited to collaborate with Ericsson to implement their cutting-edge, energy-efficient products to strengthen our infrastructure that help us significantly boost our 4G and 5G capabilities. By reducing energy consumption and environmental impact, we're taking a meaningful step toward a more sustainable future for Türkiye."

Kevin Murphy, Vice President and Head of Ericsson North Middle East and Africa, says: "We are proud to support Turkcell with our advanced, energy-efficient products that offer enhanced 4G and 5G services to meet growing consumer demands. Our innovative technology simplifies deployment and also boosts network performance, reduce site footprint and accelerate deployment time.”

Ericsson has been the main supplier of mobile communication systems to Turkcell since 1994, a partnership built on a series of products and solutions that meet Turkcell’s technical and business requirements.
