Nokia and Turkcell partner to enable new developer-created use cases in Turkey

Turkish operator Turkcell has partnered with Nokia to enable new developer-created use cases for consumer, enterprise, and industrial customers in the country.

This partnership marks another step in Nokia's strategy to enable developers and communication service providers (CSPs) to monetize network assets.

"This partnership enables Turkcell and Nokia to create a larger ecosystem with developers for driving fresh opportunities with Turkcell's network assets. Nokia's Network as Code platform with developer portal makes network programmability monetizable and provides CSPs with new enterprise and consumer value creation opportunities," said Shkumbin Hamiti, Head of Network Monetization Platform, Cloud and Network Services at Nokia.

The partnership enables developers to utilize software code and Turkcell network capabilities, using Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and Software Development Kits (SDK), to build new applications via Nokia's Network as code platform with developer portal.

Nokia's Network as Code platform was developed using technical standards from industry initiatives like GSMA Open Gateway and Linux Foundation CAMARA project to bring a unified approach to network openness.

Commenting on this partnership, Elif Yenihan Kaya, Network Capabilities Director at Turkcell, said, "5G-era networks are rich in features that can deliver fundamentally new capabilities to end-users, such as improving network quality on demand. We are excited to take this step with Nokia to collaborate and enable developers with the network capabilities they need to create new applications for their customers."
