Telia Finland demonstrated its 5G network slicing by remotely operating an armoured vehicle nearly 100 kilometres away during military drills in Lapland. The successful test highlights how advanced connectivity can enable real-time control for defence applications, marking a significant step in unmanned systems and secure cross-border cooperation amid Finland’s evolving security landscape.
Nokia, Telia, and the Finnish Defense Forces achieved a world-first by successfully demonstrating seamless 5G standalone slice handover across borders. Conducted during a Nordic defense exercise, the trial proved the potential of secure, uninterrupted communications for mission-critical operations.
Ciena and Telia Norway have completed the Nordics’ first live 1.6 Tb/s data transmission trial over a challenging Oslo-Trondheim route using Ciena’s WaveLogic 6 Extreme (WL6e) technology. This innovation enhances efficiency and supports AI-driven networks.
Swedish telecom giant Telia is streamlining operations by reducing its workforce by 3,000 jobs to cut costs by $253 million annually. This move aims to boost efficiency and decision-making speed. With the largest layoffs occurring in Sweden, Telia remains committed to local market needs and long-term success amid restructuring efforts.
The Finnish telecommunications equipment provider Nokia and Swedish operator group Telia joined forces to conduct a trial assessing the utility of the 6 GHz spectrum for massive MIMO 5G. Their outdoor trial, held at Nokia’s Research and Development center in Espoo, Finland, featured the utilization of a 128TRX antenna based on Nokia’s AirScale Habrok radio and a test terminal from MediaTek equipped with integrated antennas. While specifics on speeds and feeds remain undisclosed, the trial reportedly proceeded successfully.
Telia, Sweden’s telecom giant, is reportedly considering selling off its broadcasting division, TV4, with negotiations in progress with potential buyers. This comes as TV4’s value declines, attributed to dwindling ad revenue and challenges with premium sports content. Critics suggest Telia misunderstood the complexities of the TV industry, with former CEO of TV4, Jan Scherman, openly critical of the acquisition.
Distinguished selections, momentous awards, and unprecedented telecom innovations marked the recent proceedings. Notably, Telia Company’s Global IoT Connectivity solution won the B2B Service of the Year, while PT Telekomunikasi Selular took laurels in the Digital Transformation Programme category.
Ericsson and Telia join forces to establish the Baltics’ first enterprise 5G network at a key supply site in Estonia, aiming to enhance productivity, agility, and sustainability, while enabling connected use cases like asset monitoring, digital twins, and more. This collaboration also boosts Ericsson’s growing private 5G offerings and emphasizes the potential of private 5G networks in driving innovation across various industries.
Telia Company, a Swedish telecommunications operator, has announced changes to its top management that will put sustainability at the forefront of the company’s agenda. In March, Ola Rembe, a former executive at Ericsson, will become Senior Vice President and Head of Communications, Brand and Sustainability at Telia. This newly created position combines these different roles for the first time. When it comes to sustainability, Telia is regarded as one of the telecom companies with more progressive thinking. The corporation has established specific goals to achieve a value chain that will be carbon neutral by 2030 by at least halving greenhouse gas emissions and offsetting the remainder. In addition, Telia has mandated that its suppliers set science-based goals, and last year it was disclosed that 29% of the suppliers participating in its supply chain emissions had already done so, with a further 21% in the process of receiving…
The Nordic telecom companies Telia and Ericsson have made important progress towards implementing 5G innovations for commercial use across Sweden in 2020, by launching their 5G development platform at KTH, the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. Their hopes are for the network to play a vital role in developing innovative new solutions and services. The KTH campus was chosen as the host venue due to the research such as remote VR, Internet of Things (IoT) and industry automation being conducted at that facility. Professor Jan Gulliksen, the Vice President for Digitalization at KTH, appreciates this amazing opportunity “to have access to Sweden’s first 5G network here on campus.” He claims that it “gives our researchers, teachers and students a head start when it comes to understanding and developing this new technology ahead of its wider launch. This is exactly the kind of partnership we believe helps stimulate research-driven…
