Tele2 Latvia’s Expansion Efforts

By continuing its 5G network expansion, the company plans to have around 600 5G base stations operating on its network by the end of this year. Tele2 Latvia provides 5G services on the 700 MHz and 3.5 GHz bands. Tele2 secured the right to use 25 MHz of spectrum in the 3.5 GHz band for 20 years, as reported by TelecomTalk in November 2023.

Tele2 noted that most 5G base stations are currently deployed in Riga and other large cities and regions of Latvia, where the network load is higher. At the same time, other regions of Latvia are also actively being developed where 5G base stations are being installed at the 700 MHz frequency, which allows wider coverage.

“To some extent, this is a significant moment because the Tele2 5G network is available in all regions of Latvia. Of course, 5G coverage differs in regions, but 5G is available in the centers of regions and larger parishes,” says Tele2. “We have started this year very actively, already installing 20 new 5G stations, both in places where the 5G network was already working and in places where it is now available for the first time.”
