In a ceremony held at the Headquarters Building, Northern Cyprus Turkcell announced the launch of its 4.5G service offering and internet experiences to its customers.
Northern Cyprus Turkcell highlighted in its statement that, after waiting for 9 years since the 4G beta tests in 2014, it has now become the first operator to introduce 4.5G in the country. Kuzey Kibris Turkcell termed 4.5G as a fourth-generation telecommunications service that offers faster mobile internet speed, more data capacity and low latency.
