For example, we share networks with competitors for increased efficiency and use only renewable electricity. We will certainly not lower our ambitions during the 5G roll out in any of our markets. Today, connectivity is not only taken for granted, but is crucial for the interaction between individuals, industries and societies. However with an ever increasing demand for data we constantly need to enhance our network capacity. That is why the energy efficiency of 5G is so important – 5G consumes significantly lower amounts of energy compared to 4G, per transferred data. Of course, Tele2’s 5G networks alsos enable greater efficiency in a wider sense. As more and more parts of industries becomes connected, we will see efficiency on a level that is not possible today. The same goes for the society as a whole, where public systems can become faster and more intelligent. Just imagine how energy efficient a truly connected city could become. Traffic systems interacting with public transport systems, interacting with carpark systems, interacting with GPS systems, interacting with connected cars and so on. 5G not only enables a more energy efficient society, but might also eradicate traffic jams and overcrowded subways. Our top priority: Reliability 5G does not only provide speed and increased capacity, it also increases the reliability and robustness of our networks even further. At Tele2 we are using the 5G roll out as an opportunity to invest in new solutions for redundancy and reliability throughout our networks. Our top priority is to have the most reliable network in each market where we operate. 5G is a much more reliable standard compared to previous generations networks and is able to handle more connected devices and higher loads in for example large cities or at events in arenas. It also allows a much higher precision for fast-moving devices, enabling better connectivity while you are on a train or riding a car. Moreover, while the higher 5G frequencies provides much higher speeds, the lower 5G frequencies improves the reach and reliability on the countryside. 5G also makes it possible to prioritize specific services or ranges of traffic to ensure important infrastructure for both customers and society, making sure crucial services run smoothly. If an issue occurs, 5G allows us to contain it within a limited part of the network, to avoid a snowball effect. Improved security and issue handling 5G enables a whole new range of security technologies, for individuals as well as our network infrastructure. The improved speeds means better and faster tools for both authentication and encryption of traffic, both for mobile phones and IoT (Internet of Things) devices. It also improves security protocols for when devices in our network interacts with devices in other networks, to and from other countries. With speed and capacity, proactive security measures improves over time. For example, 5G makes it possible to share and install new software and security updates much faster than before, enabling intelligent real-time IoT security features. At the same time, security systems can handle issues much better, as faster response times increases efficiency of monitoring and activation of counter-measures. Will 5G replace WiFi? 5G definitely brings mobile connectivity with better speed and capacity than some broadband and WiFi solutions. For some, 5G can be the perfect replacement. However, we believe that mobile 5G and new fixed connectivity technologies will rather complement each other going forward, to increase speed and capacity in different areas of the society. At Tele2, we will continue to expand and improve our leading fixed network in Sweden while we also continue to roll out 5G. When will you roll out 5G? We launched our first 5G network in Sweden on 24 May 2020 and our other markets will follow as soon as we can acquire spectrum licenses. Our roll out starts in large cities, to provide as many customers as possible with 5G as soon as we can. It is important to understand that 5G will not be rolled out in a few days, or even weeks. The complete roll out of 5G will take many years.
