Alongside KAREL at SAHA 2026: Integrated Tactical Communication and 40 Years of Engineering

At SAHA 2026, held at the Istanbul Expo Center on May 5–9, 2026, we stood alongside KAREL as it celebrated its 40th year. Edda Creative accompanied the KAREL team throughout the fair, and our founder, Eda van Dijk – Şengül, met the team at the KAREL stand.

An integrated tactical communication architecture

At SAHA 2026, KAREL showcased its 40 years of engineering experience and communication expertise through an integrated tactical communication architecture. At the centre of the stand was COMLINE, an in-vehicle integrated communication gateway that brings different radio, sensor and mission systems together on a single digital backbone. Field-tested solutions were presented to visitors through real operational scenarios.

Strategic partnerships and contracts

KAREL wrapped up SAHA 2026 with strategic partnerships and contracts that will shape the future. The meetings and signing ceremonies held at the stand during the fair once again highlighted the company’s growing role in defence. As KAREL noted in its post after the fair, the company will continue to guide today’s and tomorrow’s operational needs with its 40 years of engineering strength.

Standing alongside our brand at the fair

A brand’s success at a trade fair starts long before the stand opens. Sharpening the message, preparing content, real-time communication during the fair and post-fair sharing are all part of the same strategy. We are proud to have stood alongside KAREL in its 40th year, both at its Anıtkabir visit and at SAHA 2026.
