Tusass has selected telecom equipment maker Ericsson to build a 5G network in Greenland, initially covering three towns.
Tusass will be deploying Ericsson equipment and Netgear routers for offering high-speed wireless internet to the sparsely populated island without resorting to expensive and hard-to-deploy cables. A further 10 towns, including Greenland’s capital Nuuk, are set to follow next.
Tusass said it plans to invest around 1 billion Danish crowns ($131.3 million) to secure and expand Greenland’s infrastructure and improve communication.
