The test was conducted using the E-band (80 GHz) spectrum and demonstrated the ability to transmit and receive data simultaneously on the same frequency. This breakthrough technology, known as Full Duplex Radio Link, significantly enhances data efficiency and network performance [1].
Prof. Dr. Vehbi Çağrı Güngör, Turkcell's Chief Technology Officer, highlighted the importance of this achievement, stating that it reflects the company's commitment to preparing Turkey's digital infrastructure for the future. The achieved speed level offers the capacity for approximately 10,000 users to simultaneously access voice and data services over a 5G network [1].
James Zeng, President of Huawei's Radio Link Product Line, also commented on the significance of this test, noting that it lays the foundation for 5G infrastructure and supports Turkey's digital transformation journey [1].
In a separate development, Vodafone Qatar has signed a comprehensive agreement with Nokia to modernize its entire 5G network. The agreement aims to expand network capacity, improve performance, and future-proof the network with cloud-based and automated solutions [2].
