Telenor obtains new 4G licence
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
(Fornebu 27 June 2012) Today Telenor's and Telia's Danish joint venture, TT-
Netværket P/S, has obtained a licence to build a 4G network in the wide-range
800 MHz frequency band. The 800 MHz licence is a major step on the way to
creating Denmark's best network.
Telenor's and Telia's joint Danish infrastructure company, TT-Netværket P/S, has
acquired 2x10 MHz spectrum in the 800 MHz frequency band. That became clear when
the Danish Business Authority's frequency auction closed late yesterday. The
800 MHz frequency is well suited to ensuring a broad 4G rollout because a 4G
mast will have a much wider range if this frequency is used.
"Mobile broadband data communication will become more and more important for
Danish telecom customers over the next few years. The spectrum we have acquired
today will allow us to reach even more Danes with 4G data connections. So the
800 MHz licence is a key element of fulfilling our ambition to create Denmark's
best network in terms of both voice and data," says Jon Erik Haug, CEO of
Telenor Danmark. TT-Netværket P/S will pay DKK 111.463.000 for the 800 MHz
spectrum acquired yesterday.
Telenor and Telia have concluded an agreement to merge their 4G, 3G and 2G
mobile networks. The first step will be taken in a few months, when 4G sharing
begins. Once Telenor and Telia have established a joint 4G network, coverage
will naturally also be the same for both companies - 75 per cent of the
population. The 800 MHz spectrum acquired by Telenor and Telia today will make
it possible to provide 4G services to an even greater share of the population.
