Net Insight has recently signed a collaboration agreement with Turkish telecom operator Türk Telekom relating to 5G synchronization. The agreement is worth SEK 220 million. Particularly, Net Insight is initially provided SEK 55 million for product development, as well as an initial order worth SEK 25 million for existing products with delivery starting this year. The remaining orders for an entirely new product for 5G will be delivered towards the end of 2023, with delivery completed in 2026.

The solution offers unique advantages as it is independent of GPS and can provide time synchronization over existing networks. 5G rollouts can therefore be done without replacing or upgrading existing nodes in the networks, which reduces operator costs significantly.

“This is our single biggest order ever and an important milestone in the company’s history. We are creating a new business offering with a new product selected by one of Europe’s biggest telecom operators. There is a large total market for 5G synchronization with an estimated future annual value of over USD 1 Bn,” commented Crister Fritzson, CEO of Net Insight.

“We see considerable market potential for this innovative solution which will reduce costs and speed up the roll-out of 5G for mobile operators globally. As Türk Telekom, we work hard with the responsibility of leading Turkey’s digital transformation and shaping the future with 5G and new generation technologies. We take an active role in drawing the 5G roadmap in the global arena with our pioneering R&D studies, products and tests for 5G worldwide. This important collaboration agreement with Net Insight fits well with our strategy to innovate and bring new technology to the world,” commented Ümit Önal, CEO of Türk Telekom.
