Telia 5G Network Expansion

“As of today, Telia’s 5G coverage area covers about three-quarters of the Estonian population. However, we have covered about 60 percent of the country’s territory with 5G. As we are constantly building the 5G network, the aforementioned numbers are getting a little bigger every week,” said Telia Estonia.

Telia Estonia explained that it has used the 700 MHz, 2100 MHz, 3500 MHz, and 26 GHz frequencies to build its 5G network. On the 26 GHz frequency band, Telia reported achieving downlink speeds of 2.2 Gbps at the beginning of this summer. Telia mentioned that it has the capability to increase speeds even further; however, there are no handsets available that would enable these speeds.
