We visited Türk Telekom's COP31 stand

One of the largest venues of the climate summit COP31 held in Antalya belongs to Türk Telekom. As SD, we toured the stand from start to finish: there are many things, from a driverless car to an electric vehicle charging station, from a robotic arm picking oranges to a music experiment that measures the listener's brain response. The most important news of the trip is Türk Telekom's own solar power plants.

A driverless car with the Türk Telekom logo greets you at the entrance of the stand. Türk Telekom does not produce automobiles; However, the 5G connection in these vehicles and the technologies developed by its subsidiaries come from the company. Right next to it stands an electric vehicle charging station signed by Türk Telekom Ventures. The design of the products exhibited at the stand may change in the future.

Turk Telekom's solar power plants

The subject of the signing ceremony at the summit was Türk Telekom's plan to produce the electricity it consumes from renewable sources. The company, which consumes a significant amount of electricity with its infrastructure and data centers, is establishing its own solar power plants (SPP). The model on the stand shows the power plant in Sivas Zara with an installed capacity of 128 MW.

In the video, it is stated that the production of these power plants is at a level that can meet the annual electricity needs of a province like Gümüşhane. The foundation of Malatya Solar Power Plant, the second leg of the project, was laid at the summit.

Robots and 5G demos

One of the most crowded corners of the stand is the robot area. A 5G-connected robotic arm picks oranges in front of visitors. It's a demo, but it shows what connected robots can do in areas like agriculture. Another robot prepares printed coffee for visitors; There is Türk Telekom's slogan "We Have a Promise for Tomorrow" on the glasses.

We also talked to the families and students who visited the stand. Most visitors find it positive that technology meets local companies and that children can see these demos up close.

Brain response while listening to music with mood

One of the most interesting areas of experience belongs to Türk Telekom's music application Mood. Participants listen to music with an ECG device attached to their heads, and the device measures their reactions to different types of music. According to the officials, the measurement results are presented to the participant as an explanatory text in the application.
