Turkcel wil be deploying NEC's iPASOLINK iX all outdoor ultra-compact microwave radio systems for its 4G LTE network infrastructure. The rollout will cater for the widespread adoption of smartphones and tablet devices and the increasing demand for rich content. Turkcell aims to become the only operator in the country to reach 375 Mbps when it launches the network on 1st April, next year.

iPASOLINK iX is a radio transmission system that supports frequencies from the 6GHz band to the 42GHz band and can be applied to a wide range of networks, from access to aggregation. Moreover, with its sub-band free feature, NEC said that frequency bands that usually need to be configured at the factory prior to shipping can now be configured or modified at the installation location or remotely after shipping. 

This enables carriers to respond flexibly to various situations, such as delays in allocating usable frequency bands, or sudden changes to allocated frequency bands.

We will leverage this track record and experience to support the speed and capacity enhancements on the Turkcell network. 

Atac Tansug, Fixed Network Director, Turkcell
We are working with NEC to quickly develop a highly reliable network infrastructure which will be operational by the time we launch our LTE services on April 1, 2016..
