Turkcell is continuing its work on 5G technologies at full speed. Turkcell and Ericsson completed Turkey’s first ever 5G test, achieving download speeds of 24.7 Gbps on the 15 GHz spectrum, the broadest available. The test was also one of the first in the entire world. Turkcell reached speeds of 24.7 Gbps on the 15GHz band and represented one of the first 5G tests in the world. It is predicted that by 2020 there will be an average of 500 sensors in each home and that the number of smart devices connected to each other around the world will exceed 25 billion. 5G networks are expected to be among the most important technologies in delivering the high capacities required in such a world. Thanks to its Network Slicing feature, 5G also allows networks to allocate capacity and speed according to the different requirements of each home or even of individual rooms. For example, higher bandwidth can be allocated to a living room in order to allow users to stream 4K television shows over the internet, while the kitchen would be granted the smaller capacity needed to operate a kettle. The test conducted in collaboration with Ericsson on the 15GHz spectrum achieved speeds of 24.7 Gbp, and was also streamed live on the internet.
