STOCKHOLM,SWEDEN:New 4G mobile services are now available for customers of Nordic telecom operator TeliaSonera in Stockholm and Oslo, the company announced on Monday.

“We are very proud to be the first operator in the world to offer our customers 4G services,” Kenneth Karlberg, TeliaSonera’s Head of Mobility Services, said in a statement.

“The use of mobile broadband in the Nordic countries is exploding and customers need higher speeds and capacity. This is why we are launching 4G services in both Stockholm and Oslo.”

According to the company, the added capacity of the 4G/LTE services will make it easier for customers to perform more web-based tasks requiring high transmission speed and capacity, such as web conferences, online games, or web TV.

“Being first out with new technology gives us unique experience that we can use on all our markets,” said Karlberg.

TeliaSonera’s two 4G city networks will cover the downtown areas of Stockholm and Oslo and will be used for mobile data.

4G is the fastest mobile technology available on the market, according to the company, with speeds up to ten times higher than today’s turbo 3G.
