- This new deal will upgrade and replace Net4Mobility’s existing 4G radio network whilst introducing an enhanced 5G layer utilizing Nokia’s advanced AirScale Platform.
- The deal continues Nokia’s momentum in 5G deal wins across Scandinavia and the Baltic countries.
- Ultra-fast 5G services to deliver compelling new use cases across the country.
The deal will improve legacy 4G performance while increasing
capacity with 5G services introduced at the majority of sites within awarded
areas. Net4Mobility will also take advantage of the 3.5 GHz spectrum band,
ideal for dense urban coverage. Nokia will replace the incumbent vendor’s 4G
network and it is also expected that a significant number of new sites will be
added every year. Nokia’s secure and future-proofed solutions will also ensure
Net4Mobility’s network meets industry standards for security.
Net4Mobility, which was formed in 2009 to support the
deployment of 2G and 4G networks, is Sweden’s largest RAN network and carries
approximately 60 percent of network traffic in the country. Its 4G network
covers 90 percent of the country and 99.9 percent of the population. The
collaboration will continue with the development of a 5G network. Nokia has
previously been selected by both Tele2 and Telenor for its cloud core network.
Nokia will supply equipment from its comprehensive AirScale
portfolio, including AirScale Base Stations, AirScale massive MIMO Adaptive
Antenna solutions as well as other radio access network (RAN) solutions and
state-of-the-art tools to drive operational efficiency. Nokia will also provide
professional services, including integration, implementation, and network
optimization services, as well as technical support for operations and
maintenance.”
Jonas Edén, CTO of Telenor Sweden, said: “We continue to
expand our 5G offer to our subscribers in Sweden. 5G is already available in
our biggest cities and we aim to offer the service to 99.9% of Sweden’s
population by the end of 2023. We are delighted to extend our partnership with
Nokia and have them as one of our vendors going into the 5G era with an
emphasis on quality and innovation.”
Yogesh Malik, CTIO of Tele2, commented: “I am very pleased
that we can now begin the broad rollout of 5G in Sweden. The new generation
network will mean a significant improvement for consumers and enable
innovation, automation, and higher efficiency for companies.”
Tommi Uitto, President of Mobile Networks at Nokia, said:
“We are proud to be selected as a key supplier to modernize Telenor and Tele2’s
existing network infrastructure and help shape their 5G future in Sweden. This
deal demonstrates Nokia’s continued momentum for both radio and 5G across
Scandinavia and the Baltic region. Nokia has broad experience of network
sharing and we are thrilled to bring our solutions to the largest network in
Sweden and deliver the best possible 5G coverage to their customers.”
