Türk Telekom Group

Türk Telekom, Türkiye's leading telecommunications company, has announced plans to construct a solar power plant (SPP) in Sivas Zara, marking a major step forward in its sustainability initiatives.

The company recently signed a connection agreement with the Turkish Electricity Transmission Corporation (TEİAŞ) for the project, with construction set to begin in early 2025.

The Türk Telekom Group has said that its board of directors decided to appoint Boulos H.B. Doany as new CEO-general manager effective as of Sept. 26, in a written statement. 
The group's former chief, Rami Aslan, resigned from his position after three years of service in late August, yet he continued to serve as CEO at Türk Telekom until a new appointment was made.

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has said it is funding Turkey's investment in a new high-tech fiber-optic submarine communications cable system that will carry data between 17 countries, from Singapore to France and Italy, in written statement on Sept. 21.

Türk Telekom has vowed to offer very high speed Internet services close to the speed of 5G technologies by April, in line with a deal with Korea Telecom struck at the World Mobile Congress in Barcelona. 

Turkcell has renewed an offer to establish a joint fiber infrastructure company with other operators due to the high cost of acting separately, according to Chief Technology Officer ?lker Kuruöz.

Türk Telekom has refused to agree to a joint fiber investment offer from other leading communications companies, Vodafone and Turkcell, stirring a debate over who will build fiber networks in the country, which has set ambitious targets in the sector. 

Türk Telekom's Argela has applied for 10 patents for 5G technologies in the United States, said the company in a press release on Nov. 20. 

Türk Telekom Group has allocated two thirds of its investments, which by the end of this year will be approximately 20 billion Turkish Liras ($6.7 billion) since 2005, to infrastructure and fiber, CEO Rami Aslan said on Sept. 2.
