Nokia and Telia Finland fire up new innovation hub offering blistering 5G speeds to spark creativity
Press Release
Nokia helps its operator customers to unleash the full potential of 5G
Telia Finland offers new connectivity offering to help businesses of all size scale up with the power of 5G
Using Nokia's 5G network, speeds of 2 Gbps, were experienced on smartphones connected on Telia's live network.
Espoo, Finland - Operators around the world can benefit from ultra-fast speeds that 5G is offering. With 50 commercial 5G deals across the world, Nokia is enabling the network and services of the future. The first adopters of 5G can offer their customers experiences and services that require ultra-fast speed and reliability.
Right now, there is tremendous appetite for operators to enter into new areas and promote the technology of future advanced 5G use cases through innovations.
In Finland, Nokia is working in partnership with Telia to offer new and innovative solutions for end customers. One of Telia's strategies has been to approach startups and encourage them to think about the potential of 5G to create new monetizable services.
In downtown Helsinki, 5G smartphone users in the Maria 01, the leading Nordic start-up campus, were celebrating blistering network speeds of 2 Gbps on Telia's live network using test frequencies in the mmWave range. This is the highest speed measured in Europe at the moment, and reflects Telia's commitment to serve the needs of the wider community.
The new node provides high quality, extreme bandwidth and low latency communications, perfect to fire up and drive innovation and research. The experience is testament to Nokia's ability to deliver ultra-high performance, which is a vital step to promote the adoption of advanced 5G use cases of the future.
Telia demonstrated these new 5G use cases in Slush, the yearly start-up event held in November in Helsinki, Finland. This time visitors were able to try facial payment over 5G and experience how facial recognition could transform payment services in the future.
Ari Kyn slahti, Head of MN Product Management at Nokia, said, We're immensely proud to be partnering with Telia on this 5G journey, and delivering the reality of high-performance and reliable 5G to end-users - particularly those Finnish enterprises that are driving innovation forward, and will benefit from fast and secure next-generation connectivity.
Janne Koistinen, Director of Telia Finland's 5G program, said, We're excited to be taking this next step in our 5G deployment in partnership with Nokia, and delivering exceptional speeds and performance rarely seen before in Europe. We want to enable our customers to use a rock-solid 5G network as the backbone of their businesses, and Nokia has been proven under demanding, high-density conditions as being a partner that Telia and its customers can fully rely on to deliver the full-potential of 5G.
