TeliaSonera, a provider of 4G services in Europe, has signed an agreement with Nokia Siemens Networks to build its radio network in Denmark and part of its Swedish 4G radio network including the network in Gothenburg.
Under the agreement, Nokia Siemens Neworks will provide its GSM and 3G technology and LTE radio equipment to Telia Denmark.
TeliaSonera said that in Denmark, the LTE launch is the first step in the ongoing full network modernisation with Nokia Siemens Networks.
The network modernisation in Telia Denmark will cover 75% of the Danish population with 4G service, 98% with 3G and 99% with GSM service by the end of 2011, using the Nokia Siemens Networks Flexi Multiradio Base Station, which provides several radio access technologies simultaneously from the same platform.
In addition, Nokia Siemens Networks will provide its NetAct network management system to enable consolidated configuration, monitoring and optimisation of the network.
Telia Mobility Services Denmark CEO Soren Abildgaard said they are rolling out 4G in the Nordic and Baltic countries, and Nokia Siemens Networks delivers the radio network in Denmark based on their high-quality technology and competitive total offerings.
