Tele2 and Telenor, through their joint network company Net4Mobility (N4M), have secured new spectrum in the 1800 MHz band in the spectrum auction conducted by the Swedish Post and Telecom Authority, at a total auction amount of SEK 465,850,000.
The new frequency allocations are an important step in future-proofing Net4Mobility’s shared mobile network and strengthening robustness, coverage, and performance for both 4G and 5G services across the country.
The licences cover 2x25 MHz in the 1800 MHz band. They will now be integrated into N4M’s network planning to increase capacity, stability, and coverage throughout Sweden.
The spectrum allocation strengthens Net4Mobility’s work on the largest network modernisation in the companies’ history. Both 4G and 5G are being expanded to create one of Sweden’s fastest and most extensive mobile networks. The expansion increases capacity, improves coverage, and enhances the network’s robustness and resilience nationwide.
