The latest good news from ASELSAN managed to excite all technology enthusiasts: Domestic smartphone! This development, announced in the press release published by Türk Telekom, is described as a giant step towards reducing our country’s external dependence in the field of technology and strengthening the domestic ecosystem. The involvement of ASELSAN, known for its engineering power in the defense industry, in this field has become another source of nostalgia and pride for those who remember the legendary models of the past.

There are not only two big brands behind the collaboration, a huge ecosystem is being established, just like Togg. The fact that strong stakeholders such as the Ankara Chamber of Commerce and the Turkish World Business Board are also involved in the process shows that the project will not be limited to Turkey alone.

Considering that at least 9 countries that are members of the Organization of Turkic States and within the scope of cooperation will be a part of this market, the domestic smartphone has the potential to reach a very significant user base.

Details of the Domestic Phone Signed by ASELSAN

The road map and cooperation topics of the project have been officially determined. In this context, not only a smartphone will be produced; It is also aimed to develop domestic hardware and software to be used in communication infrastructures.

The software and operating system side of the business is as much a matter of curiosity as the hardware part. It is being discussed whether similar security measures will be taken on this phone, such as Togg not using ready-made systems of global software giants to protect its own data. Developing an Android-based but more reliable structure that will ensure that the information remains in Turkey is among the strongest possibilities.

Today, we are going through an era where technology is not limited to just mobile phones, but has transformed into wearable devices and different form factors with the power of artificial intelligence. The most exciting point is how ASELSAN and Türk Telekom will integrate future technologies and artificial intelligence in this project.

Just like the global success we have achieved in unmanned aerial vehicles, focusing directly on the devices of the future instead of following the trends in phone technology will make this cooperation much more meaningful.

Even though there is no shared prototype or visual yet, the fact that the road map has been drawn was enough to energize the technology world. We will continue to closely follow all developments, new details and official statements of this great project.
