Leading Türkiye's digital transformation, Türk Telekom contributes to the construction of a sustainable future by supporting the digital transformation of institutions with innovative technology solutions. Türk Telekom, which accompanies the digital transformation journeys of institutions in different sectors with its innovative solutions and rich technology ecosystem, implemented Türkiye's first 5G smart port project in TBH Port Adana with SANKO Holding, one of the leading institutions of industrialization in Anatolia.
At the signing ceremony held at the experience center in the summit area of Türk Telekom, the "Master Partner" and "Global Digital Transformation and Technology" supporter of the global climate summit COP31 hosted by Türkiye; With Türk Telekom's new generation wireless connection technology PLTE, which offers a private, secure, uninterrupted and high-speed mobile communication network, a strategic step has been taken to create the infrastructure for digital transformation projects to be implemented in TBH Port Adana with SANKO Holding. By making port management more efficient and sustainable, the "smart port" project stood out as a concrete step in the field of the green industrialization topic of the COP31 Action Agenda.
Türk Telekom CEO Ebubekir Şahin said, "The COP31 summit hosted by Türkiye also determines the agenda of the future economy, industry and social life in the fight against climate change. As Türk Telekom, which positions technology as one of the most important tools of a sustainable future, we focus on creating permanent value by reflecting our technological power in all areas of life. While building an equal digital future for everyone with a holistic and inclusive approach, we aim to contribute to the digital transformation process of our institutions with our technology know-how and strengthen their position in global competition. New generation connection technologies and 5G are not only a solution that offers higher speeds, but also a powerful ecosystem that transforms many areas from production to logistics, from operational efficiency to security. To date, we have transformed the potential of 5G and new generation connection technologies into real projects with the pioneering applications we have developed in different fields from health to production, from sports to culture and arts. The collaboration we have implemented with SANKO at TBH Port Adana has become one of the important examples of this vision by increasing efficiency and sustainability. We are very pleased to announce the "smart port" project at the global climate summit COP31 hosted by our country, which contributes to our goal of leaving a livable world. 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. We believe that this project makes a significant contribution to our country's understanding of common responsibility, common goals and joint action in the fight against climate change. "With our innovative solutions, we will continue to undertake projects that increase the competitiveness of the sectors and contribute to the sustainable future," he said.
Adil Sani Konukoğlu, Chairman of the Board of Directors of SANKO Holding, pointed out the contribution of the project to sustainability and technological transformation goals and said, "As SANKO Holding, we position digitalization and green transformation as two strategic levers that complement each other in line with our sustainable growth vision. The COP31 summit, hosted by our country, is a historical threshold where global commitments and concrete actions that shape the future of the industry meet. While we are introducing advanced technologies that will increase operational efficiency, traceability and resource durability in our multi-sectoral structure, we also maximize this integration in our logistics and port operations." Türkiye's first 5G smart port project, which we implemented in TBH Port Adana in cooperation with Türk Telekom, will make our processes more secure, uninterrupted and data-oriented with its special wireless connection infrastructure. This infrastructure investment, which enables real-time monitoring, advanced automation and energy optimization in our port operations, also turns the green industrialization vision of the COP31 Action Agenda into a concrete implementation in the field. This valuable work reduces our carbon footprint and supports our country's global competitiveness while strengthening our digital core in industrial areas. "We are very pleased with the union," he said.
The "smart port" era has begun in the Turkish maritime industry
Private LTE technology significantly increases operational efficiency by providing uninterrupted data flow between cranes, sensors, vehicles and personnel in the port area. Thanks to its wide area coverage and 5G architecture, a high security and high performance infrastructure is provided for applications such as in-port automation, real-time monitoring, energy efficiency and remote control. While the smart port concept was introduced with applications such as image processing, occupational health and safety, and remote control implemented within the scope of the project, the necessary technological foundation was laid for industrial 5G applications that were put into operation thanks to the 5G pLTE infrastructure.
