Under the pact, Turkcell and Huawei will research and implement several green technologies, including Eco Matrix, which integrates six frequencies into a single antenna to optimize energy use, Green AAU, which reduces cabin space and power consumption with less equipment, and ESS site technology for efficient power management.

“Sustainability is integral to our vision for the future of connectivity,” said Vehbi Cagri Gungor, Turkcell’s chief technology officer.

“Our commitment to advancing energy-efficient solutions allows us to support high-performance networks while reducing environmental impact. Innovation is at the heart of our efforts to ensure that networks evolve in a sustainable manner, benefiting both the environment and the communities we serve,” he added.
