The announcement comes ahead of the operator's April 1 launch of the service in Turkey.
“We have invested heavily in the spectrum auction held on August 26 in order to bring the fastest mobile internet to our customers all over Turkey,” said Terzioglu, CEO of Turkcell.
“With the 1,220,000 hours of work that our network teams have clocked in through hard conditions, today we are able to announce that Turkcell network is ready for 4.5G in 81 cities 10 days ahead of schedule.”
The operator will launch its 4.5 service with speeds of up to 375Mbps aggregating three carriers. It has also announced plans to support speeds of over 100Mbps towards the end of this year on its network.
According to Terzioglu, 4.5G test speeds on Turkcell’s network in five cities reached dolwnload speeds of up to 390.24Mbps and upload speeds of up to 49.76Mbps in the cities of Samsun and Adana.

AIS launches VoLTE nationwide, markets ‘4.5G’
hailand’s largest cellco by users Advanced Info Service (AIS) has announced in a press release that it has switched on commercial voice-over-LTE (VoLTE) services across all 77 provinces in the country, giving users with capable devices ‘crystal clear’ HD voice quality, lower background noise, faster voice call connection times and the ability to access mobile internet simultaneously to a VoLTE call. Conversations can also be switched between voice-only and video ‘immediately’. Initially, AIS is offering VoLTE support on a limited range of smartphones including Samsung S7 EDGE, S7, S6 EDGE and S6, but says that VoLTE will gradually become available on other smartphone models.
AIS has also begun marketing its newly upgraded LTE network as ‘4.5G’, claiming that its customers can now access connection speeds at ‘up to 550Mbps’. Following recent rapid rollouts with technology vendors including Huawei of China, AIS highlighted in a press release that its LTE services are now available in all 77 provinces, whilst its highest LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) speeds are based on 4×4 MIMO technology, Carrier Aggregation (CA) on 1800MHz and 2100MHz, and other technologies including LTE-U/LAA standards (Unlicensed-LTE / Assisted Access License). AIS added that potential peak speeds will grow to 1Gbps ‘from April’. The partners also disclosed plans to expand the commercial ‘4.5G’ service area in Bangkok and major provinces, especially in areas such as business/shopping centres. Whilst the highest speeds are currently supported on data-only devices (routers etc), AIS is releasing a smartphone that supports its top ‘4.5G’ speeds in April.
