Turkcell (NYSE: TKC) (BIST: TCELL), Türkiye’s leading telecommunications and technology company, in collaboration with Huawei, has successfully implemented autonomous network functions within its IP Backbone Network. This milestone marks a significant advancement in the evolution of telecom infrastructure, enhancing the automation, efficiency, and intelligence of Turkcell’s network management systems.
With the integration of autonomous network functions, Turkcell delivers a green network with autonomous energy-saving capabilities. This innovation not only optimizes network performance, but it also significantly reduces energy consumption, which contributes to reaching Turkcell’s sustainability goals. Through intelligently managing power usage across the network, Turkcell ensures that its operations are environmentally friendly while maintaining the high performance that its users expect. This movement is an essential part of Turkcell’s broader green energy initiatives, which aim to minimize the environmental footprint of their network infrastructure.
Turkcell’s green network initiatives are further enhanced by the dynamic energy-saving capabilities, which make significant reductions in energy consumption without compromising network reliability. By dynamically adjusting energy use based on real-time traffic demands with Huawei NetEngine 8000 X backbone router and Network Digital Map, Turkcell is able to provide faster, more efficient services while minimizing operational costs. The 400GE backbone router supports a smooth upgrade to possess AI capabilities, and Network Digital Map provides energy-saving visualization. Green network is particularly important in the face of growing demand for 5G-A and next-generation digital services, ensuring that Turkcell remains at the cutting edge of sustainability in telecom.
