Imagine a world where your mobile phone connects seamlessly, where every call, every message, and every video starts and ends without a hitch, no matter where you are. For the millions of subscribers of Turkcell, Turkiye’s leading digital operator, this isn’t a distant dream but today’s reality, thanks to a pioneering partnership with Mavenir. This collaboration is setting new standards for network reliability and customer satisfaction in the heart of Eurasia.
Transforming Telecommunications with CI/CD
In an era where digital transformation dictates the pace of progress, Turkcell has taken a significant leap forward by integrating Mavenir’s Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) framework into its operations. This innovation is not just about enhancing Voice over LTE (VoLTE), Wi-Fi calling, and SMS over IP (ToIP) services; it’s about revolutionizing how network upgrades and maintenance are performed. With CI/CD, Turkcell can now deploy new features swiftly, reducing the time, cost,and resources previously required. Prof. Dr. Vehbi Çağrı Güngör, Turkcell’s Chief Network Technologies Officer, emphasized the framework’s role in ensuring sustainable network operations through automated upgrades and maintenance.
Boosting Competitive Edge and Operational Efficiency
The adoption of the CI/CD framework by Turkcell is a game-changer in the telecommunications industry, not only in Türkiye but globally. This move has significantly strengthened Turkcell’s competitive edge by ensuring that its network remains robust, efficient, and reliable. Automated detection of potential network issues allows for immediate resolutions, thereby preventing any impact on subscriber experiences. Brandon Larson, SVP at Mavenir, highlighted the decade-long partnership between Turkcell and Mavenir, underscoring the pivotal role of automation in streamlining operations and achieving substantial operational savings. This strategic partnership underscores Turkcell’s commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to maintain its leadership position in the market.
Enhancing Digital Streaming and Content Delivery
Moreover, Turkcell’s innovative approach extends beyond network operations to enhancing the digital streaming experience for its customers. Through a strategic partnership with Cisco and Qwilt announced on February 21, 2024, Turkcell aims to revolutionize content delivery from the network edge. This collaboration utilizes Qwilt’s Open Edge Cloud for Content Delivery platform, powered by Open Caching and enabled with Cisco’s edge computing and networking infrastructure, to deliver superior streaming experiences and faster data delivery. By extending its network coverage to 99% of Türkiye through 9,000 towers, Turkcell is not just improving connectivity; it’s redefining the standards of digital streaming and content delivery across the region.
As the digital landscape continues to evolve, Turkcell’s strategic investments in its network infrastructure and partnerships with industry leaders like Mavenir and Cisco highlight the operator’s unwavering commitment to innovation and excellence. With a revenue of TRY26.0 billion and total assets of TRY149.2 billion as of September 30, 2023, Turkcell is not just leading the way in Türkiye but is setting a benchmark for telecommunications operators worldwide.
