Turkey Surpasses a Critical Threshold in the Transition to 5G: Frequency Auction Has Begun!
Turkey is opening the doors to a new era in mobile communication. The frequency auction that will establish the infrastructure for 5G technology is being held today. The auction, scheduled for Thursday, October 16, 2025, is considered a significant step in the country’s digital transformation process.
Under the close supervision of Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Abdulkadir Uraloğlu, the three major mobile network operators—Turkcell, Vodafone Türkiye, and Türk Telekom—are participating in the auction. The companies are submitting their bids electronically to lease frequency blocks for 15 years.
The auction is being conducted based on principles of transparency and competition. The bids submitted by the operators will directly influence their competition strategies, investment plans, and commitments to using domestic technologies.
Turkcell stands out with its efforts to expand its 4.5G infrastructure and has successfully completed its 5G tests. Vodafone Türkiye continues to leverage its global experience to strengthen its position in low-latency networks. Türk Telekom, on the other hand, aims to integrate its fiber optic investments with 5G to combine fixed and mobile infrastructures. This step will support Turkey’s digitalization vision and help the country achieve a strong position in the global 5G market.
As TUYAD, we hope that with this process, the three operators—who will serve approximately 22 million devices capable of using this technology in Turkey—will work in the interest of our country by utilizing domestic and national products. The low-orbit satellite base stations that will support this effort will also bring significant dynamism to our sector.
The President of the Turkish Satellite Managers and Infrastructure Association (TUYAD), Hayrettin Özaydın, recently visited Ali Bıdı, Chairman of the Board of Directors of ANFAŞ Fair Management and Investment Inc., a corporate member of TUYAD.
During the visit, topics such as new projects, fair organizations, and the future of the sector were discussed. It was also stated that a partnership agreement was established between TUYAD and ANFAŞ for the 36th International Accommodation and Hospitality Equipment Specialization Fair (Anfaş Hotel Equipment), which will be held between January 6–9, 2026, hosted by Antalya ANFAŞ.
Within the scope of this cooperation, TUYAD members will be able to benefit from special opportunities and privileges throughout the fair.
TUYAD President Hayrettin Özaydın thanked ANFAŞ Chairman Ali Bıdı and his team for their hospitality, emphasizing that this collaboration is an important step for the industry.
On Tuesday, November 4, at the Ataşehir head office, under the moderation of TUYAD President Hayrettin Özaydın, a meeting on “measures to be taken in the fight against illegal broadcasting” was held with the participation of IPTV platform representatives.
In the meeting, topics such as the relationship between pirate broadcasting and illegal betting applications, data security violations caused by pirate TV applications and the national security risks they may cause, app applications, short-term subscriptions experienced in OTT Subscription Agreements and the financial risks they create, public spot works, etc. were discussed.
In our meeting attended by our members Türksat, Digitürk, Dsmart, Eylemedia, Skybeam, and Metesis, the works to combat illegal broadcasting, the report and recommendations to be prepared for the relevant institutions were discussed.
It was decided to form a joint legal working group and to send the public demand petition to the relevant institutions with the approval of the Board of Directors.
We present our respects to Vice President Mücahit Şahin, Fatih Coşkun, İlker Yasin Tekin, Deniz Kablan, Eylem Kehribar, Derviş Gedikoğlu, and Ahmet Özturgut who participated in our meeting.
