Thread: 4G Goes Commercial in Sweden, Norway

While 3G is still in its nascent stage here, Nordic service provider TeliaSonera has launched 4G services commercially to customers in Stockholm, Sweden and Oslo, Norway.

"We are very proud to be the first operator in the world to offer our customers 4G services. The use of mobile broadband in the Nordic countries is exploding and customers need higher speeds and capacity. This is why we launch 4G services in both Stockholm and Oslo," says Kenneth Karlberg, President and Head of Mobility Services.

4G/LTE will open up new possibilities for customers to use and enjoy services on their laptops, requiring high transmission speed and capacity, such as advanced web TV broadcasting, extensive online gaming and web conferences.

"Being first out with new technology gives us unique experience that we can use on all our markets. We will continue the roll-out to offer ourcustomers new communication services for the future," continues Kenneth Karlberg.

The two pioneering 4G city networks cover the central city areas of Stockholm and Oslo and will be used for mobile data. 4G is the fastest mobile technology available on the market, with speeds up to ten times higher than today’s turbo 3G.

TeliaSonera has three nation wide 4G/LTE licenses; in Sweden, Norway and also recently in Finland. The network roll out is in progress to offer 4G to Sweden’s and Norway’s largest cities.

The Stockholm 4G city network is supplied by Ericsson while the Oslo 4G city network is supplied by Huawei. The modems at launch come from Samsung.

lolzzzz i live in Mumbai suburb(Dombivli) and forget 4G , in India even high speed broadband is not up to the mark.

Yes the advancement in technology take time to launch in the Indian market.

4g is comparatively cheaper ive seen their plans most on em r unlimited ones as compared to 3g where all have a data cap on them

This is called thugging the public. They are giving pre 4G & calling it 4 G. Wunnerful.

No have tried 4G except some tester. 4G is based on LTE -advanced not on simply LTE which was rejected by ITU for that.

BSNL is still far from 4g. The 3g service itself is not that fast but it will come to India with increasing need that can be in pace only with 4g.

I guess operators in India shoudl roll out 3G and have VAS services. 4G is meant for heavy data downloads using the wireless network
