Turkish Karel Debuts 5G Military Tech at World Defense Show 2026


(MENAFN) Turkish defense contractor Karel unveiled cutting-edge battlefield communication technology at the World Defense Show 2026 in the Saudi capital, marking a strategic push into the kingdom's rapidly expanding military sector.

The firm displayed three flagship systems from February 8-12 at the Riyadh exhibition: the COM-BAT 5G private mobile network, the COM-LINE in-vehicle communication gateway, and the MOBAT operational headset, Karel Defense Technologies announced Monday.

Leveraging four decades of engineering expertise, the Turkish manufacturer delivers tactical-grade communication infrastructure engineered for speed, encryption, and battlefield reliability from frontline to command center.

Karel's expansion into Saudi Arabia directly supports the kingdom's Vision 2030 initiative—a comprehensive economic diversification blueprint designed to reduce oil dependency and build indigenous industrial capabilities.

Rather than functioning as a equipment supplier, the company emphasized its commitment as an end-to-end technology collaborator, spanning design phases through field implementation and local manufacturing partnerships.

The strategy centers on transferable technology and sustainable production models tailored to Saudi Arabia's emerging defense manufacturing ambitions, company officials indicated.

Military-grade connectivity architecture
Modern warfare increasingly depends on seamless communication networks for command structures, real-time intelligence, and rapid tactical response, according to Karel.

The company's integrated platform connects 5G cellular infrastructure with vehicle-mounted systems and soldier-worn communication devices, creating encrypted data channels across all operational layers.

Karel currently supports Turkey's defense programs across ground, aerospace, and naval domains through specialized electronics manufacturing and systems integration services.
