Turk Telekom's Domestic Fiber Software Reaches One Million Households
Netsia BB Suite, developed by engineers from Turk Telekom and Argela, has started to be used in one million households in Turkey. The company announced that the software is the world's largest application in open-source broadband access technologies.
Netsia BB Suite, developed by the engineering teams of Turk Telekom and its group company Argela, has begun to be used in one million households within the fiber internet infrastructure.
The software, actively used in fiber network operations conducted across all 81 provinces, is presented as the world's largest application of open-source broadband access technologies.
Netsia BB Suite operates on a cloud-based and vendor-independent architecture that allows devices from different manufacturers to be managed through a single software platform. This structure enables faster deployment of new services, more agile response to faults, and easier network scalability.
Turk Telekom CEO Ebubekir Şahin stated that reaching one million households is not just a numerical achievement. He emphasized that this demonstrates Turkey's ability to develop standards in telecommunications, produce technologies compliant with these standards, and transform this into global competitive power.
Şahin also noted that investments will continue in line with the vision of developing national technologies, and they will keep working towards a Turkey less dependent on external resources.
Turk Telekom was the first operator worldwide to commercially use this technology on a live fiber network in 2021. Developed as an open-source solution under the Linux Foundation Broadband ecosystem, the software has since become a key component both in expanding new fiber lines and modernizing existing infrastructure.
Alongside its R&D investments in 5G, the company's efforts contributed to it becoming Turkey's top patent applicant in 2024 and 2025. Turk Telekom, Argela, and Netsia hold over 70 international patents together.
The success of Netsia BB Suite has also been recognized internationally. At the NetworkX Awards 2025, the solution won first place in the "Outstanding Innovation in Multi-Gigabit Fiber Access" category.
Turk Telekom aims to further expand the software's usage and bring the product to international markets.
Meanwhile, Istanbul Technical University ARI Teknokent took nine startups to London Tech Week, connecting Turkish entrepreneurs with international investors and business partners. The event, held from June 8-12, highlighted topics such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, green transformation, and deep technology.
Startups presenting in the Startup Alley introduced solutions in aviation, healthcare, energy, and artificial intelligence. The delegation included Altay Aviation and Space Technologies, Arya AI, Bomensoft, Bulut Klinik, EGN POWER, Elaves, MediSense AI, Synaps AI, and Yanhak.
Attila Dikbaş, General Manager of ITU ARI Teknokent, said internationalization is at the heart of entrepreneurship. He stated that they support Turkish startups not only in technology development but also in connecting with the right investors, partners, and customers.
Dikbaş added that events like London Tech Week are not just showcases for companies but also important platforms for investment talks and global visibility.
It is planned that startups participating in the event will increasingly engage with the international ecosystem to enter new markets and strengthen Turkey's technology exports.
The AI startup Promake completed a new $4 million investment round aimed at entering the global small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) market. The funds will be used to accelerate product development, expand the team, and support serving the global SME market.
The investment round was led by 212, with participation from Ak Portföy GSYF, Arya VC, Gelecek Etki Fonu, JIMCO, and Maxis Ventures. The company attracted investment shortly after opening to global users, increasing interest in AI's role in small business management.
Promake's platform enables entrepreneurs and SMEs to create and manage their digital assets through conversation. The system offers functions such as website creation, domain registration, email account setup, e-commerce infrastructure establishment, payment system integration, and centralized management of digital advertising campaigns.
