Türk Telekom and SANKO Holding implemented Türkiye's first 5G smart port project at TBH Port in Adana.
According to the statement made by the companies, within the scope of the cooperation, Türk Telekom's new generation wireless connection technology Private LTE (pLTE) infrastructure, which offers a private, secure, uninterrupted and high-speed mobile communication network, will be used.
The project, announced within the scope of COP31 hosted by Türkiye, stands out as one of the field implementations of the green industrialization targets of the COP31 Action Agenda while supporting digital transformation in port management.
The project aims to provide uninterrupted data flow between cranes, sensors, vehicles and personnel in the port area. Thanks to the infrastructure, it is aimed to develop in-port automation, real-time monitoring, energy efficiency and remote control applications.
With the project, in which image processing, occupational health and safety and remote control applications were also put into operation, the technological infrastructure that will pave the way for industrial 5G applications was created.
"5G PROVIDES TRANSFORMATION FROM PRODUCTION TO LOGISTICS"
In his evaluation of the project, Türk Telekom Chief Executive (CEO) Ebubekir Şahin stated that COP31 determines the future economy, industry and social life agenda, as well as the fight against climate change.
Stating that they position technology as one of the most important tools of a sustainable future, Şahin noted that they focus on creating permanent value by reflecting their technological power to all areas of life.
Şahin emphasized that new generation connection technologies and 5G are not just a solution that offers higher speed, "It offers a powerful ecosystem that transforms many areas from production to logistics, from operational efficiency to security." made his assessment.
Stating that they have developed pioneering applications in different fields from health to production, from sports to culture and arts, Şahin stated that the cooperation between SANKO and TBH Port Adana is one of the important examples of this vision.
Şahin stated that the smart port project is an important step that transforms the green industrialization topic of the COP31 Action Agenda into concrete value in the field, and said:
"This project not only pioneers the use of new generation technologies in port management, but also reveals a strategic model that forms the basis of 5G transformation in industrial areas. With our Türk Telekom innovative solutions, we will continue to undertake projects that increase the competitiveness of the sectors and contribute to the sustainable future."
"WE SEE DIGITALIZATION AND GREEN TRANSFORMATION AS TWO STRATEGIC LEVERS THAT COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER"
