Türk Telekom has become the first operator in the world to use specialised GPS/GNSS independent technology that provides the critical time and frequency synchronisation solution in its network for 5G.
The technology, which has been developed by Türk Telekom engineers together with Net Insight, is expected to significantly reduce synchronisation investment costs and increase service continuity in 5G.
Commenting on the development, Türk Telekom CTO Yusuf K?raç said: “We became the first operator to implement the next generation synchronisation solution, developed together with Net Insight leveraging patents of Turkish engineers, which is critical for 5G and beyond technologies, on the live network. We see significant potential in the global market for this innovative solution that will reduce costs and increase service continuity for mobile operators and all industries with critical time synchronisation requirements. We can meet all these needs with this solution, which has a time deviation far below 1500 nano-second required for the synchronisation need of 5G. We are proud to develop new satellite independent solutions for operators and standardisation organizations in the world. Within the scope of this project, we attach importance to the presence of Turkish engineers in the development team and aim to seize the opportunity for domestic production by expanding the scope of cooperation. We aim to represent our country in the best way and also in the international arena by showing the great success of our engineers to the whole world again”.
Net Insight CEO Crister Fritzson added: “I would like to state that Net Insight and Türk Telekom have strong and unique competence and experience in the field of 5G networks and time synchronisation. We believe that this solution, which is operated on the Türk Telekom network for the first time in the world, will break new ground in 5G and have a high and significant market potential on a global scale”.
