Network Modernization
In September 2022, Tusass and Ericsson jointly announced an extensive collaboration for the shared vision of a wireless Greenland. Starting as a pilot in 2022, non-standalone (NSA) Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) 5G has been rolled out in Sisimiut, Maniitsoq, and Narsaq before being implemented in several other locations across the country. TelecomTalk reported on Tusass's developments in a timely manner.
Ericsson and Tusass' partnership began in 2017 with a comprehensive modernization of the mobile network, simultaneously introducing high-quality 4G services across all populated areas in Greenland. Now, Tusass is transitioning from 4G to 5G.
Ongoing Coverage Expansion
Tusass concluded by stating that currently, 60-70 percent of Qaqortoq city has access to 5G connections, with ongoing efforts to expand coverage.
