TeliaSonera is rolling out a new, modern radio network in Norway to offer increased coverage and speed. Huawei and Ericsson have been selected to build the combined 2G/ 3G/4G radio network. "We are building a new, world class mobile network in Norway with 2G, 3G and 4G access to offer our customers a major coverage and speed improvement. We have selected Huawei and Ericsson to deliver the network based on their high quality technology and competitive total solutions," says Claes Nycander, CTO of Mobility Services at TeliaSonera. Huawei is providing equipment for the southern part of the network and Ericsson for the northern part. "In 2012, 95 percent of the Norwegian population will have 3G coverage and 89 percent of the population will have access to 4G services. This will dramatically change the way our customers can use mobile broadband services," says Claes Nycander. TeliaSonera AB
