Data rates with up to 300 Mbps speeds on live LTE network in Helsinki
LTE-Advanced carrier aggregation on 1800 and 2600 MHz frequency bands
Espoo, Finland - Sonera, one of the leading mobile operators in Finland, has introduced extremely fast 300 Mbps download data speeds in certain areas* of Helsinki. The operator launched its commercial LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) network and is now able to provide higher network capacity, speed and performance.
LTE-A makes networks a lot faster
Carrier aggregation accelerates typical user data rates by more flexible radio resource selection in LTE-Advanced networks. Operators can create larger, virtual carrier bandwidths for services by combining separate spectrum bands. Nokias LTE-Advanced networks can deliver data to mobile devices at rates most people have never experienced on a residential broadband connection. Sonera now offers data speeds in Finlands capital up to two times faster than previously possible with 4G LTE.

Key facts:
Downlink data rates of up to 300 Mbps are achieved by aggregating spectrum resources with a total bandwith of up to 40 MHz
1800 MHz and 2600 MHz frequency bands were used
Sonera business customers using Sonera Sopiva Pro or Real 4G Max subscriptions can now take advantage of the service
Sonera offers Samsung Galaxy Alpha and Samsung Galaxy Note 4 smartphones to use LTE-A and new devices are being added to the portfolio at the beginning of 2015
The agreement includes systems integration services and Nokias Flexi Multiradio 10 Base Station
Kalev Reiljan, CTO,TeliaSonera Finland, said: We want to offer the fastest possible data speeds to our customers. Over 60% of Finns use smartphones and generate more data traffic than customers using older devices. With LTE-Advanced we make sure our network can address these capacity changes now and in the future .
Margus Hunt, customer team head, Nokia Networks, said: Soneras customers will enjoy the higher speeds, just as top car speeds are of interest to drivers. An LTE-Advanced Carrier Aggregation network can be linked to a multi-lane highway, where adding more lanes allows more cars to travel from A to B. Nokias Carrier Aggregation software effectively does this both dynamically and flexibly in the network, selecting the best radio cells to be aggregated.
Did you know?
Carrier aggregation is one of the key functionalities of LTE-A that aggregates the resources of two frequency bands to increase bandwith. As more spectrum and more sophisticated devices become available, carrier aggregation offers a straightforward path for gradually increasing data rates to meet the exponential growth in network traffic. Nokia Networks has been at the forefront of LTE-A research and development, including the worlds first commercial launch.
