Telia to start 4G LTE services in Gothenburg

A mobile subscriber of TeliaSonera’s Swedish subsidiary Telia has launched 4G LTE services in Gothenburg. Under a deal inked, Nokia Siemens Networks has deployed its radio equipment to deliver LTE services equipment in the city.

During the widespread pre-launch tests performed by TeliaSonera and Nokia Siemens Networks, average downlink rates of 85-90 Mbps were measured, cresting at 100 Mbps- the maximum data rate supported by the current generation of LTE devices. While the uplink, 30 Mbps was measured, this is again in the top range of the expected uplink data rates. Nokia Siemens Networks is also supplying its Flexi Multiradio Base Stations under the two-year radio network contract. Nokia Siemens Networks has also provided its NetAct network management system to monitor, manage and optimize the operator’s multi-vendor network.
