Nokia selected by Net4Mobility for 5G expansion in Sweden in 5-year deal

Nokia will supply equipment from its comprehensive AirScale portfolio helping Net4Mobility to deliver game-changing ultra-high speed, low-latency and highly secure 5G connectivity to its subscribers. The move will also enable a range of new use cases across Industry 4.0, entertainment, cloud gaming, transportation, education and healthcare. Nokia will replace the incumbent vendor with deployment already underway. 

The deal will improve legacy 4G performance while increasing capacity with 5G services introduced at the majority of sites within awarded areas. Net4Mobility will also take advantage of the 3.5 GHz spectrum band, ideal for dense urban coverage. Nokia will replace the incumbent vendor’s 4G network and it is also expected that a significant number of new sites will be added every year. Nokia’s secure and future-proofed solutions will also ensure Net4Mobility’s network meets industry standards for security. 

Net4Mobility, which was formed in 2009 to support the deployment of 2G and 4G networks, is Sweden’s largest RAN network and carries approximately 60 percent of network traffic in the country. Its 4G network covers 90 percent of the country and 99.9 percent of the population. The collaboration will continue with the development of a 5G network. Nokia has previously been selected by both Tele2 and Telenor for its cloud core network.

Nokia will supply equipment from its comprehensive AirScale portfolio, including AirScale Base Stations, AirScale massive MIMO Adaptive Antenna solutions as well as other radio access network (RAN) solutions and state-of-the-art tools to drive operational efficiency. Nokia will also provide professional services, including integration, implementation and network optimization services, as well as technical support for operations and maintenance.”
