Cooperation Agreement Between ASPİLSAN Energy and ULAK Communications at Mobile World Congress

Recognized as one of the world’s leading technology exhibitions and organized by the GSM Association (GSMA) in Barcelona, Spain, the Mobile World Congress will host visitors through March 5.

Within this framework, ASPİLSAN Energy and ULAK Communications signed a strategic cooperation agreement during the congress to promote the widespread adoption of domestic and national solutions in Türkiye’s communications infrastructure.

Through the “Cooperation Ceremony for the Use of Domestic Telecom Batteries in the National Network,” an important step was taken toward the integration of ASPİLSAN Energy’s lithium-ion telecommunications batteries — 48V-100Ah and 48V-150Ah — developed with national software and electronic board infrastructure, into Türkiye’s National Communications Network.

The newly developed battery systems provide secure, uninterrupted, and sustainable energy for telecommunications networks thanks to their high energy efficiency, long cycle life, advanced Battery Management System (BMS), and national software infrastructure.

These solutions, which hold strategic importance in ensuring energy continuity and operational reliability in critical communications infrastructures, also contribute to reducing external dependency.

To date, ASPİLSAN Energy has played an active role in replacing energy storage systems used in telecommunications networks — particularly those of Türkiye’s national operators Turkcell and Türk Telekom — with domestic and national solutions.

In addition to being the first company to introduce domestically produced telecommunications batteries into Türkiye’s network infrastructure, ASPİLSAN Energy has further strengthened its pioneering position by becoming the first local manufacturer to export telecom infrastructure batteries.

“We Safeguard the Energy Security of Critical Communication Systems”

Commenting on the signing ceremony, ASPİLSAN Energy General Manager Ahmet Turan Özdemir stated:

“This collaboration, which will strengthen Türkiye’s domestic and national communications infrastructure, represents not merely a product integration but a strategic technological advancement. With our telecom batteries developed with national software and electronic board design, we are securing the energy safety of critical communication systems.”

Özdemir emphasized that the company acts with the responsibility of being the first to supply domestically produced batteries to telecommunications networks and to export in this field. He added that ASPİLSAN Energy will continue contributing to the security and sustainability of Türkiye’s digital infrastructure while reducing external dependency in energy storage technologies.

Highlighting the importance of the cooperation implemented with ULAK Communications, Özdemir noted that it plays a critical role in strengthening the domestic ecosystem within Türkiye’s 5G and beyond communication technologies roadmap.

“The development of energy systems used in telecom infrastructures through domestic and national capabilities represents a significant milestone in terms of sustainability goals, supply security, and strategic independence,” he said.

“We Are Building a Holistic National Ecosystem”

ULAK Communications Inc. General Manager Sami Duman also commented on the cooperation:

“At ULAK Communications, we continue our efforts with the vision of strengthening Türkiye’s national communications infrastructure through end-to-end domestic and reliable solutions. Through this strategic cooperation with ASPİLSAN Energy, we are increasing the share of domestic solutions within the energy layer of our network infrastructure and building a holistic national ecosystem. This step represents not only a technical integration but also a strategic gain that reinforces our country’s independence in 5G and beyond technologies.”
