5G Technology Discussed at TÜSİAD’s Digitalks Meeting

At the Digitalks event, organized within the scope of TÜSİAD Digital Turkey Round Table activities, the impact of 5G technology on our lives and ways of doing business was discussed. Serkan Sevim, Member of the Board of TÜSİAD and Chairman of the Digital Turkey Round Table, made the opening speech of the event, and stated that expanding access to quality data and technical infrastructure is only possible with the establishment of a strong digital infrastructure.

Serkan Sevim stated the following in his speech:

“Next generation wireless technologies; With faster connections and increased data capacity, it put “speed” at the center of competition, regardless of sector and scale. By offering an end-to-end connection chain, 5G forms the backbone of emerging technologies, especially artificial intelligence, internet of things and big data analytics. The development of 5G technologies is about to become one of the most important components of socio-economic growth and therefore the competitiveness of countries in the future. Expanding access to quality data and technical infrastructure will only be possible with the establishment of a strong digital infrastructure. It is extremely important to implement holistic policies in order to properly develop 5G technology and make infrastructure investments.”

After the opening, a panel titled “5G Technology: Its Impact on Our Lives and Ways of Doing Business” was held with the participation of Nokia Bell Labs Member Harri Holma and Nokia Bell Labs Senior Partner and Vice President Fuad Siddiqui as speakers. The moderator of the panel was TÜSİAD Software Working Group President Utku Barış Pazar.

Utku Barış Pazari: 5G has the power to transmit much faster and much larger data than previous generations of connection technologies.

Utku Barış Pazar, who was evaluated after the panel session, used the following statements:

“We talked about how far 5G is ahead of its predecessors compared to its predecessors. 5G has the power to transmit much faster and much larger data than previous generations of connectivity technologies. We are confident that it will impact the experience of individuals today, but what is truly revolutionary is the innovations it will enable in industry and business models as business people and industrialists.

One of the main points emphasized by our speakers during the conversation is that 5G technology provides the infrastructure that transforms future data science technologies into revolutionary business models. One of the infrastructure models is private mobile networks (Private LTE), thanks to these networks, many IoT-enabled devices in a facility or a campus can be managed in coordination by processing very high amounts of data with very low latency.”
