Turkish Communication company Karel, which also has products for the defence industry, announced at the Public Disclosure Platform (KAP) that a contract for the delivery of a military power plant for use by the Bangladesh Armed Forces was signed on 24 June 2025 between Karel and the Ministry of Defence of Bangladesh.
The Turkish company has previously delivered DS200T series hybrid PBX systems to various armed forces across the region, including those of Azerbaijan and Bangladesh. These military-grade communication systems are designed to withstand harsh operational environments and feature both analogue and E1 ports with integrated IP capabilities, ensuring reliable field communication.
In addition to land systems, the company also supplies naval communication solutions such as shipboard public address and general alarm (PAGA) systems based on PBX architecture, already in use by several navies.
For land platforms, its IKT intercom systems stand out with waterproof designs and robust environmental resistance, enabling integrated radio communication and command-control functionality in armoured vehicles.
Other products include the AG102 and Gateway models, which convert analogue and E1 lines to IP-based networks. These Radio over IP (ROIP) solutions support the simultaneous connection of up to four radios and fourteen analogue ports into secure digital infrastructure.
Karel also helps with major Turkish aerospace projects like the National Combat Aircraft (KAAN) and ATAK-II by making backup flight indicators, avionic control units, and countermeasure systems that work on airborne platforms.
Karel’s defence communication systems are part of larger plans that target South Asia and the Middle East. They are trusted suppliers of integrated military technology and export to more than 30 nations.
