Türkiye’s ULAK Communications Inc., a pioneer in national network and communications technologies, achieved a significant milestone at NATO’s CWIX25 (Coalition Warrior Interoperability eXploration, eXperimentation, eXamination, eXercise) — one of the world’s largest multinational interoperability exercises. Held in Bydgoszcz, Poland, under NATO Allied Command Transformation, the event brought together more than 2,700 participants from over 40 allied nations to test 600+ systems across five operational domains.

Representing Türkiye, ULAK successfully demonstrated the new version of its Software Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) solution, completing 93 interoperability and performance tests with full success. The system was evaluated for both security robustness and cross-system compatibility, proving its readiness for multinational defense and mission-critical applications.

Unlike traditional WAN infrastructures, ULAK’s SD-WAN enables centralized, software-driven network management, optimizing bandwidth, routing, and security policies dynamically across distributed nodes. With features like real-time traffic prioritization, end-to-end encryption, and centralized policy control, the platform provides both cyber resilience and high operational performance — key enablers for secure defense communications. The technology is already deployed at over 1,400 sites across Türkiye, providing secure connectivity for government and critical infrastructure networks.

ULAK Communications CEO Ruşen Kömürcü emphasized the strategic importance of this achievement:

“Our SD-WAN solution has once again proven its compliance with international interoperability and security standards during CWIX25. This success demonstrates Türkiye’s growing engineering competence in communications and defense technologies. Our goal is to strengthen Türkiye’s digital sovereignty through national network solutions and integrate these capabilities into the global security architecture.”

By performing flawlessly in NATO’s multi-domain operations environment, ULAK’s SD-WAN not only showcased Türkiye’s technological maturity but also reinforced the country’s role as a trusted contributor to allied digital defense infrastructure. The exercise highlighted how national technologies can enhance joint situational awareness, secure data exchange, and adaptive mission communication across allied forces.
