“A national duty”
Zafer Orhan, Deputy General Manager of Türk Telekom Network, provided information about their work with HTK members. He emphasized that they are an operator that not only uses technology but also produces it, stating, “We came first in the patent category in 2024. We see every effort to reduce external dependence for 5G and beyond as a national duty.”
