Turkcell, a communication
and technology company, announced the launch of a smart vehicle application
which provides a solution for schools and parents that enables them to track
school buses online in real time.  

 

Now parents can easily know if or when their children
board, or alight from their service bus, as well as where the bus is at any
time, and when it is due to arrive at its destination.  Parents are sent a
notification SMS based on preference when the school bus approaches its
destination.  

 

Since the status of buses is being tracked in real time,
with related individuals alerted whenever the speed limit is broken, the
solution also incentivizes bus drivers to drive safely.

 

Currently, Turkcell Smart Vehicle is being used by
250,000 vehicles in Turkey.  Turkcell Smart Vehicle ensures that vehicles
featuring a SIM card can be tracked on a satellite map via the GPS system.
Specifically, the centralized control system enables employers who use
this solution to save 30 percent on fuel and 10 percent on maintenance costs.

 

Turkcell recently announced the official launch
of the T20 smartphone, one of the world’s first commercially available UICC
(Universal Integrated Circuit Card), NFC – SWP (Single Wire Protocol) android
based device.

 

Turkcell T20 allows consumers to use their phone as a
mobile wallet due to cooperation between Huawei and Turkcell. Turkcell T20 also
uses MasterCard’s contactless technology, PayPass.
