TeliaSonera had won a 4G license in Denmark lastweek and will launch 4G services to Danish customers during the spring 2011.
“We are pleased that we have secured 4G licenses early in Sweden, Norway and Finland, and now also in Denmark. We are confident that we within less than a year will be able to offer our Danish customers 4G mobile broadband services”, says HÃ¥kan Dahlström, President of business area Mobility Services, TeliaSonera.
The acquired frequencies enable TeliaSonera to build a mobile broadband network in Denmark that is more than 10 times faster than today’s 3G networks. The price for 2 x 20 MHz paired spectrum and 10 MHz unpaired spectrum in the 2.5 GHz frequency band is DKK 336.3 million. The license is valid for 20 years.
TeliaSonera was the first operator in the world with the launch of commercial 4G services to customers in Stockholm, Sweden, and in Oslo, Norway, in 2009. During 2010, the extensive network roll out continues in 25 cities and recreation areas in Sweden and in 4 in Norway. TeliaSonera has secured deliveries for 4G modems with support for 3G and 2G during the second quarter 2010.
