As O2 UK announces its successful 4G LTE trial, TeliaSonera is launching commercial 4G LTE services to customers in Sweden and Norway – which it says makes it the first network operator in the world to offer a commercial 4G service.
The services cover the central city areas of Stockholm and Oslo and will be used for mobile data. The Stockholm network is supplied by Ericsson and the Oslo network is supplied by Huawei, with customer equipment provided by Samsung. TeliaSonera is now rolling out 4G to other cities in Sweden and Norway. [Press release]
