Nokia and Türk Telekom have signed an MOU to accelerate the development of 5G radio access network technology and the applications that will drive the Internet of Things (IoT). The MoU will involve the development of a cloud architecture for radio and core network technology and will see Türk Telekom making network infrastructure available to Nokia for real-time testing. 

According to Nokia, 5G technology will move beyond simple connectivity to transform networks, delivering massive capacity, connectivity and ultra-fast data speeds - with almost zero latency - to meet the demands of billions of devices, applications and things in the ‘programmable world’. With Network Slicing, a 5G network can be tailored to the diverse needs of different industries, enabling the large-scale transformation of sectors such as healthcare, security, automotive, public safety, industrial manufacturing, smart cities and more. 

The companies will work together on testing 5G and Internet of Things technologies for tracking, metering, smart cities, smart home and latency-sensitive applications. They will then use their findings to develop 5G-ready solutions that will allow Türk Telekom to evolve its network and be ready for the eventual introduction of commercial 5G services.

Rami Aslan, CEO at Türk Telekom
Working with Nokia, we have already launched 4G LTE-Advanced in Turkey, and the development of 5G technology will allow us to drive digital revolution, changing the way of life for our customers and growing the economy. 

Ernst Nassl, head of customer business team Turkey and Central Asia at Nokia
By signing the agreement with Türk Telekom to develop 5G and IoT technologies, we are taking an important step towards defining the future of mobile networks.
