TeliaSonera first in the world with 4G services

Today, as the first operator in the world, TeliaSonera launches 4G services
commercially to customers in Stockholm, Sweden and Oslo, Norway. 

“We are very proud to be the first operator in the world to offer our customers
4G services. The use of mobile broadband in the Nordic countries is exploding
and customers need higher speeds and capacity. This is why we launch 4G services
in both Stockholm and Oslo,“ says Kenneth Karlberg, President and Head of
Mobility Services. 

4G/LTE will open up new possibilities for customers to use and enjoy services on
their laptops, requiring high transmission speed and capacity, such as advanced
web TV broadcasting, extensive online gaming and web conferences.

“Being first out with new technology gives us unique experience that we can use
on all our markets. We will continue the roll-out to offer our customers new
communication services for the future,“ continues Kenneth Karlberg.

The two pioneering 4G city networks cover the central city areas of Stockholm
and Oslo and will be used for mobile data. 4G is the fastest mobile technology
available on the market, with speeds up to ten times higher than today's turbo
3G. 

TeliaSonera has three nation wide 4G/LTE licenses; in Sweden, Norway and also
recently in Finland. The network roll out is in progress to offer 4G to Sweden's
and Norway's largest cities.

Facts
The Stockholm 4G city network is supplied by Ericsson. The Oslo 4G city network
is supplied by Huawei. The modems at launch come from Samsung. Evaluation of
suppliers for TeliaSonera's common 4G core network and radio networks in the
Nordic and Baltic countries is in progress and vendors will be selected in the
beginning of 2010.
