Elisa claims world’s first commercial 5G launch




Elisa Eesti CEO Sami Seppanen saidthat he hopes that the preparations started in April for the auction of 5Gfrequencies will continue fast and Estonia can be the leader of developing andlaunching 5G in the world. "With the help of 5G, the speed of the mobilebroadband connection will increase tenfold. With the help of such high speedconnections, we can forward information more efficiently than before, which inturn provides opportunities for the development of wholly new applications. Wewish for the state of Estonia to be at the forefront with Finland in developing5G mobile networks," Seppanen said.


Already inthe near future, it will be possible to multiply the mobile data communicationspeed thanks to 5G. The data communication speed in the world's firstcommercial 5G network used on Wednesday reached 2.2 gigabits per second.


The 5Gnetwork was created in cooperation with Huawei with the aid of the world'sfirst 5G end devices. Huawei is an important partner for Elisa in developing the future network and the company today is oneof the leading 5G developers in ther world, contributing over 10 billiondollars to network development last year.


In 2022, Elisa continued its strong leadership in the development of 5G. In Finland, 5G network coverage reached 277 locations, serving more than 86 per cent of Finns. In Estonia, after winning the 5G frequency auctions, we were the first operator to open a 5G network, with our 3.5 GHz frequency for commercial use already running in the summer. By the end of the year, our 5G coverage reached 70 per cent of Estonians.
