TeliaSonera invests in EDGE to improve the speed of the mobile network
in Finland
October 6, 2003
TeliaSonera's Finnish customers can now start using the EDGE-technology
enabling faster mobile data services. TeliaSonera is also investigating
how the technology could be applied in the other Nordic and Baltic home
markets.
TeliaSonera believes that EDGE will be an important complement to the
other mobile technologies, such as the existing GSM, GPRS and WLAN and
the future UMTS. EDGE provides extra capacity and improved transfer speed
in areas covered by the network. The existing network can be upgraded
with EDGE in the course of already planned upgradings.
TeliaSonera's Finnish customers can start taking advantage of the EDGE-technology
in line with the launch of EDGE-mobiles to the market. And at the same
time, TeliaSonera is investigating how EDGE could complement other technologies
in the Nordic and Baltic home markets, according to demand.
"For us, it is important to be able to continue providing our customers
with high quality mobile data services, independent of the technical solutions.
EDGE accelerates the development of mobile data services and complements
other mobile technologies, including UMTS. On the Swedish market, EDGE
can be a complement and act as an alternative in certain areas," says
Anders Igel, President and CEO of TeliaSonera.
Facts about EDGE
EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution) is a technology that enables
packet switched data over the GSM network two to three times faster than
the existing GPRS technology. EDGE uses the 900/1800 MHz band and is part
of the valid GSM licences possessed by operators. EDGE can be implemented
within the existing infrastructure and gives good coverage to a large
population. The EDGE technology can be employed via mobile phones that
support EDGE.
