Turkey is at a point we can be proud of in Defense Industry studies. Apart from war products, intelligence is also of great importance for both special forces and the Turkish Armed Forces. Intelligence is carried out in the fastest, safest and most economical way thanks to satellites.

We saw at the IDEF’23 defense fair that the production and development of so many domestic defense vehicles and weapons in our country in a miraculously short period of time is a great success.

The Defense Industry’s standard products need all kinds of satellites with eco-components. Among the satellite diversity, the most economical satellites for defense and intelligence are close orbit satellites.

Maxar, which you see in the image, also provides the opportunity to plan the near-orbit satellite business from many different angles. It has many duties, especially in the transportation and settlement of constellation satellites. It is expected that the Defense Industry will realize this technology in a short time and create an environment to use it more.

In our new defense plans, constellation satellite logic and intelligence methods should be preferred over low-orbit aircraft. This will enable quicker access to more remote areas and make these economical studies more widespread.

Considering the fact that the Defense Industry will achieve much more success with more intelligence information, it is an indisputable fact that intelligence will be achieved by obtaining and processing audio and video in the best and fastest way.

Therefore, close orbit satellites will fulfill this function without any limits.

It is not difficult to access photos and videos taken from a 60 cm distance focus when viewed from space with Leo satellites. The satellite logic of constellations designed for high-resolution world imaging has become a solution alternative for many countries.

This data, which reaches intelligence centers from satellite ground stations via broadband networks, can be processed very quickly.

The market share of Leo satellites for the defense industry is increasing rapidly day by day. Although medium and far orbit satellites have a very long and costly process from design to commissioning, close orbit Leo satellites are much more economical to own. Of course, its functions are very different, but it is accepted by the world’s military intelligence that it is an efficient tool for intelligence.

There is an ecosystem of close-orbit Leo satellites that I am sure will be very active on the civil and military side. It should be included.

The biggest problem of technology is its constant renewal and involuntary growth.

Future growth forecasts for the telecommunication services market, IPTV, internet telephone services and e-commerce trends cannot be made.

However, the market is always moving towards the highest level of technology. No one asks if we are prepared. While we are always chasing the newest, laws and regulations follow us.

The people who are socially and economically ready for this are very limited, but renewal and consumption continue unabated.

As technological innovations continue to gain momentum, the benefits and costs of technologies that will continue to be important and redefine the new normal are not questioned.

We have already started talking about 6G before the infrastructure and superstructure studies of 5G and the adaptation processes of the devices are completed. This also reminds us that we do not use technology economically. Constantly renewed technology keeps the market vigorous, but no one asks whether tradesmen, consumers and regulation are ready for this.

6G equipment started to be designed. While even tube televisions are still gaining market share in our country, the economic benefits and costs of 6G should be investigated.

The economics of increasing Gs will force network operators to increase infrastructure investments. Fiber infrastructure in our country is still not even at a medium level. Increasing G’s will mean a simultaneous increase in virtualization. It does not seem possible for the consumer to reach conscious seller solutions in a short time.

It is also evident that tradesmen cannot receive appropriate training even for existing electronic products and cannot become employees trained from below.

Many companies around the world may have advanced virtual technology capabilities. However, we should try to use the technologies we have with diversity as in America. The constant supply of the latest technology and equipment also means that our country’s national existence is constantly becoming waste, and consumption puts a strain on the economy.

Satellite broadband and IoT networks should be developed at the highest level without underestimating them, and should also be offered as a service to the state as a social project. Conscious usage regulations should be implemented to ensure that new technologies do not mean constant growth and constant consumption.

Offering satellite-based IoT solutions to the service of the industry and simultaneously providing training to the sector through NGOs and Chambers by experts in the field should be continuous.

The limits of internet-based television, phone calls and video sharing are still unclear, and they are always tried to be regulated later with criminal sanctions. It would be much wiser for the entire industry and consumers to keep the codes of practice at an applicable level instead of penalties.

In summary, we love technology and innovations and we get used to them quickly, but we cannot receive and provide fully equipped training for the new. Ensuring that the place of use is preserved instead of completely removing and throwing away the old one will economically support our country’s gross national product. The technology to be used must first be well understood by the service providers.

America, the technology giant that the world takes as an example, still uses 110 volt electricity, 2G technology is widespread and trams serve on the roads.

As in every sector, there are non-governmental organizations in the electronics sector that exist to defend the rights of tradesmen and industrialists and to facilitate their work. Unfortunately, people who work in organizations such as associations, chambers and unions continue their duties for many years. In fact, with change, new managers will ensure that new ideas come to life. The selection and change of new people during election periods will be good for our entire sector.

There is a telecommunications committee in the Istanbul Chamber of Commerce and it has been managed by the same people for years. I also took part there for a period, representing TUYAD Association. Despite this, the structure actually continues with the same person and people always existing. Unfortunately, for this reason, the service to the sector is not at the desired level.

We receive news that the same people are always re-elected in the Chamber of Artisans’ elections or their affiliated unions. Without questioning the reason, we continue to complain and regret about services that cannot be provided. NGOs within the Ministry of Internal Affairs are civil society movements that protect the rights of sectoral tradesmen. Candidate members are elected and serve according to the vote rate on the election day, according to the rules of the election system. If you think you are not receiving service, be sure to vote in the elections of the chamber, union or association you are affiliated with and become a candidate if necessary. Be a manager for a while, and then you will have the right to complain. Otherwise, you will have to accept that only people who are used to the same position and even make it their job are there and will always be there.

Unfortunately, not only in Istanbul but throughout our country, the heads of our Electronic Chambers are always the same person. Even though they sometimes use different names in the management, we always see the same person as the president in the end.

Unfortunately, in these days when our tradesmen are going through the most difficult times, our chamber presidents need to do their duties with new ideas and solution suggestions instead of habits. Otherwise, members who remain only within the dues mechanism have to believe that their duty is to pay dues and that the managers will always stay in the rooms only with their business cards.

You can aspire to govern the chamber you are affiliated with in the elections held every three years. Don’t think that once you become a candidate, all your work will be channeled here. There are already professional staff, you will only convey your ideas and the wisdom you receive from the industry in meetings held once or twice a month. You’re not going anywhere anyway, so spending time drinking a coffee will be enough. 

TV viewing options are in four ways: terrestrial, satellite, cable and internet. With the Internet becoming widespread and accessible, OTT (Over The Top), the most comfortable of the options, has become more preferred.

OTT is defined as watching media, all kinds of content and images over the internet without cables and antennas. Of course, your television must be compatible with this and remain compatible for a long time. The most well-known operating system in this regard, that is, the tool that allows you to watch broadcasts on your television without any problems, is the Android system. Google developed this system and offered it to our service, but it is not very innocent, in fact it contains a lot of commercial income.

Its rival, IOS, works more widely on mobile. While IOS is preferred for display on mobile phones, Android is preferred on televisions. When purchasing a television, it is necessary to carefully investigate whether the software hidden in it is licensed. In other words, a television produced by a company that has an agreement with Google should be purchased. Otherwise, future software updates may cause your broadcasts to become unwatchable and your television to become inactive.

Internet television has become more prominent with the proliferation of platforms. There are movies and TV series shot only for the internet. Now there are movies that we watch whenever we want and leave them unfinished and continue later. This comfort is only possible with internet TV.

Now, we will have much faster internet with fiber internet and 5G, the preparations for which have been completed in mobile.

The internet, which is still at the top of TV viewing options, is also the leader in platform subscriptions. This situation does not change both in our country and all over the world.

It is expected that all platforms will be broadcasting on the Internet in the next decade.

5G will be at least 100 times faster than the internet speed we use now, even in the worst geographical situation. Thus, we will have the opportunity to watch 4K, 8K and even 16K images in a very short time. So, high-speed internet will usher in a revolution in video streaming quality.

Media giants and the most well-known cinema companies will find a place on internet TV. We can see the closest examples to this with the applications that appear as shortcuts on our smart televisions.

With Smart TV, we will simultaneously get used to smart solutions at home. TV will become the operating system of the home. The entire electronic and electrical system will be managed by Google assistant with voice command. If you don’t want to miss this, definitely check whether there is a Google license when buying a smart TV. It is not very difficult to research this, the brand’s license can be queried on Google. As an easier way, you can ask us, TUYAD.

Viewer habits and TV viewing ratings can also be reported very easily from here. National channels are the service of governments all over the world to show the society as a social project. While subscription is required for other encrypted broadcasts and premium content, FREE IPTV broadcasts are offered to you without password and free of charge, through the simple application of your TV manufacturer.

When you think of OTT platforms, do not only think of internationally known ones. Each country’s own existing broadcast bundles transfer their services to the internet over time and are primarily preferred there. This also happened in Turkey. Although Netflix had an overwhelming subscriber advantage at the beginning, the local BluTV quickly became the leader.

OTT is a leader in many aspects such as broadcast quality, content placement and management.

In 2022 and beyond, the content industry will be faster and of higher quality. Platforms that cannot do this are in danger of disappearing and being left far behind.

OTT will mean the most economical use of the internet, offering not only images but also music, smart data collection and smart solutions simultaneously.
