Tele2's 5G Expansion

Tele2 highlighted its strategy aimed at ensuring widespread 5G availability, stating, "We will be able to provide our customers with the widest 5G coverage thanks to our chosen 5G network development strategy, which differs from that of our competitors."

"We want to promote digital equality between cities and regions, which means ensuring that 5G is available to everyone, not just the residents of Latvia's big cities. Taking this into account, this year we are actively developing the 5G network both in places where there is a greater demand for mobile internet and in less populated areas," Tele2 added.

Network Frequency and Coverage

Tele2 noted that its 5G network, currently accessible in all regions of Latvia, operates on both 3.5 GHz and 700 MHz frequencies. The former offers high speeds up to 1 Gbps, ideal for urban environments, while the latter provides broader coverage, particularly suited for less populated areas.
