TeliaSonera Sweden Broadband Investment
TeliaSonera said it will make a major investment to increase the speed of its Swedish broadband network over the next five years.
Over a period of five years, the fixed broadband network will be upgraded to meet future demands for speed and capacity. The initiative will involve between 1.5 to 2 million households and enterprises all over Sweden.
"We want to ensure high quality and a high level of service in our network and also secure future revenues. We are on our way to entering a new world. We must dare make investments and we have to start now," said Erik Hallberg, Head of Broadband Services at TeliaSonera Sweden.
Different technologies will be used to upgrade the network, depending on the geographic circumstances and the market's needs.
TeliaSonera said fibre-based connections of up to 100 megabit per second or higher is one alternative. Another is VDSL2 with speeds between 30 Mbit/sec and 70 Mbit/sec over the copper network.
The network will be upgraded selectively and based mainly on the customer structure. In some cases, Telia might collaborate with external parties, such as municipalities, building owners and housing cooperatives.
