Minister Uraloğlu: We will introduce our country to 5G in April 2026

Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Abdulkadir Uraloğlu said in his speech at the Trabzon Science Festival at Özdemir Bayraktar Science Center that the number of visitors to the event will exceed 200,000 starting today.

Regarding the fact that the model of the Türksat 6A satellite was exhibited during the event, Uraloğlu said: “I talked to the children there and said, 'We are making 7A, I hope you will make 8A.' The kids say, “Yes, we’ll do that.” This very word, this approach is valuable for our Trabzon, where I can say that the goal has been achieved. I think it would be beneficial to incorporate this into a specific routine and do it in a specific routine every year.” he said.

When asked by a journalist: “At what points do transport and infrastructure meet science and technology or do they meet?” Uraloğlu gave the following answer:

“In the transport and infrastructure sector, we first started making the transport systems more intelligent at the airport, “at which gate the plane will land.”

Drawing attention to their work on adaptive intersections, Uraloğlu said: “Hopefully we will implement it next year, with the system that will actively detect the intersection and activate the signaling according to the density there, with the test roads that we will set up in Antalya and Istanbul, along with the sensors on the road, along with the road surface information, accident information and traffic density. That is why we are working on it.” shared his knowledge.

Uraloğlu emphasized that they are stronger with the Türksat 6A satellite and concluded his words as follows:

“In this way we will be able to manage all of these systems from space and our satellites are one of the main components that provide the transmissions that you are currently carrying out, both civil and military transmissions, television transmissions and all types of communications. Therefore, we are present in all areas of transport. By carrying out the 5G tender a few days later, we will hopefully have our country in April Introduce 5G in 2026.”
