Turkcell and Samsung recently organized an event to experience live 5G in Turkey.
Guests of the event got the opportunity to witness live 5G for the first time in the experience zones of UHD Live Streaming, Cloud Gaming, 360 degree Camera and VR streaming by using Samsung's 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) solutions, combined with the superior infrastructure of Turkcell.Thanks to 5G FWA technologies, high-quality Gigabit connections can be made with 5G in homes and offices where there is no fiber infrastructure. In addition to Maltepe Plaza, Samsung’s 5G FWA solutions have been tested in Istanbul Technical University and Kadikoy, a dense province of Istanbul.
Back in February 2018, Samsung unveiled the world’s first complete commercial 5G FWA solutions, comprised of 5G radio (access unit and virtualized RAN), 5G routers and next-generation core. Using in-house technology and assets, Samsung has developed the first commercial ASIC-based 5G modems and RFICs. The 5G FWA solutions will enable end-users to have Gigabit speed broadband services without laying down optical fiber. In August, Samsung announced that it will invest $22 billion in four of emerging technologies - 5G, AI, automotive electronics components and biopharmaceuticals globally, over the next three years.
