A new technology shift: Today Tele2 launches 4G in Sweden!
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
- Faster mobile broadband network opens in the major cities
Today Tele2 launches 4G, the next-generation mobile network, in Stockholm,
Gothenburg, Malmö and Karlskrona. The new faster network offers speeds up to 80
Mbps, which is 10 times faster than today's turbo-3G networks.
With 4G, customers can easily use more interactive and capacity-intensive media
such as playing online games or streaming TV and film with good quality. For
companies, it is easier to work with applications such as videoconferencing and
heavy files in the same way as with the fixed ADSL connection.
- "Today is a great day as we open the 4G network in the major cities of Sweden
while the roll-out continues at a rapid pace all over the country. More and more
people cut fixed telephony at home to become mobile. The same development will
happen on the fixed broadband market with the 4G technology. Today we are proud
to open the doors to what will be Sweden's most comprehensive 4G network," says
Niclas Palmstierna, CEO of Tele2 Sweden.
Surveys including one conducted by SIFO, shows that the interest in 4G is high
since one out of three Swedes and every third company will buy 4G within the
next year. The survey is confirmed by a test pilot in which around twenty people
have used 4G as their primary connection. 4G is perceived as a viable
alternative to fixed ADSL internet access and provides a mobile sense of
freedom.
- "Faster mobile connections allow our customers to do all the things they are
used to doing via the fixed ADSL connection but through the 4G network,"
comments Niclas Palmstierna.
4G subscriptions are available today in the Tele2 stores and online at tele2.se.
The roll-out of 4G continues so in 2011 many of Sweden's cities will be covered
by 4G. The goal is to cover 99% of the population with 4G by the end of 2012.
