Tele2 and Telenor, through their joint network company Net4Mobility (N4M), have secured new spectrum in the 1800 MHz band in the spectrum auction conducted by the Swedish Post and Telecom Authority, at a total auction amount of SEK 465,850,000 (€42.4m).

The new frequency allocations are a significant step in future-proofing Net4Mobility’s shared mobile network and strengthening robustness, coverage, and performance for both 4G and 5G services across the country.

The licences cover 2×25 MHz in the 1800 MHz band. They will now be integrated into N4M’s network planning to increase capacity, stability, and coverage throughout Sweden.

“This spectrum allocation is an important step in our ambition to offer Sweden’s fastest and most extensive mobile network. With 99.9 per cent population 5G coverage, we continue to deliver on our promise of high quality, robustness and innovation to consumers and businesses across the country,” said Jean Marc Harion, CEO of Tele2.

“Spectrum is a key resource. With this allocation, we can continue to strengthen a network that supports both everyday communication and critical societal functions. It is about robustness, accessibility, and ensuring that Sweden can rely on its connectivity in all situations,” added Jonas Edén, CEO of Telenor Sweden.
