Telecom service provider Tele2 Estonia has acquired a second 2.100 MHz license from the operator PGH Raadiovõrk to double its 3G mobile internet capacity in many areas.
During 2014, Tele2 Estonia will swap its current 2G and 3G networks to launch countrywide 4G services.
The company claims that Tele2 Estonia now has the largest spectrum portfolio out of the operators in Estonia, which puts the company in a very strong position for the future.
In Estonia, Tele2’s spectrum consists of 800 MHz, 900 MHz, 1.800 MHz, 2.100 MHz, 2.600 MHz and even 450 MHz, 2.300 MHz and 3.500 MHz frequencies. Now, the Estonian Technical Surveillance Authority has granted Tele2 a second 2.100 MHz frequency.
Niklas Sonkin, executive vice president of Central Europe and Eurasia at Tele2 AB, said: “Our spectrum portfolio puts us in a very strong position for the future, as also this new frequency can be used for upgrading to next generation LTE-Advanced.”
