Defence Turkey: Since 1986, how has KAREL contributed to the transformation in Türkiye's telecommunications sector?

BAYIZ: Karel has been behind the communication infrastructures trusted by the business world in Türkiye since 1986. Starting out with indigenous designs and domestic engineering capabilities at that time, Karel established the Private Branch Exchange (PBX) market in Türkiye. It played a pioneering role in the country's transition from electromechanical systems to electronic communications. Karel's efforts paved the way for the widespread adoption of digitalizing communication infrastructures in both the public and private sectors.
