Over the past few years, several tech companies have invested in Turkey, contributing to the country’s economy and creating new jobs. Xiaomi, Oppo, Samsung, Tecno Mobile, TCL, Realme and Vivo are also making progress.
Turkey’s Deputy Minister of Transport and Infrastructure, Ömer Fatih Sayan, attended the signing ceremony during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. He said: “Over the past 20 years, Huawei has made important contributions to Turkey’s infrastructure construction. We hope these contributions will continue in domestic and local production. Huawei has one of its 19 global R&D centers in Turkey, and more than 750 engineers are employed there. Ericsson has also established an R&D center in Turkey.”

TIM and Huawei have partnered to deploy 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G networks in Brazil. With the wide application of 5G, simplicity, greenness, and intelligence have become the key requirements of 5G networks.
Furthermore, through innovative solutions, consumers will be provided with a leading 5G experience. In the future, the two parties will continue to carry out 5G innovation cooperation: Massive MIMO multi-antenna, dynamic spectrum sharing, intelligent operation, and maintenance, and other products and solutions. Also, Huawei will continue to innovate on the mass commercialization of Massive MIMO multi-antenna technology to enhance 5G coverage. This technology also improves the 5G network capacity and efficiency.
