On the 26th of January, Telenor Global Services will launch its new broadband network, Telenor Nordic Ring. This will enable Nordic customers to connect to customers in other European and US towns and cities on extremely competitive terms.
Telenor Global Services is launching its Nordic broadband network to cover the increasing demand for high capacity connections in the Nordic countries. Oslo, Stockholm, Gothenburg and Copenhagen are being linked by the new network. Telenor Global Services is primarily aiming at international telecommunication operators requiring capacity to and from the Nordic countries.
This network is based on the latest generation technology, Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM). Customers requiring capacity from 155 Mbit/s upwards between towns and cities in the Nordic countries and Europe or the US will be able to benefit from a new competitive product.
The network has been established in collaboration with the Swedish National Rail Administration, which is using its railway network as the basis for its fibre optic infrastructure. Both Telenor and the National Rail Administration have utilised their existing infrastructure without having to carry out excavation work. This means the network will be extremely cost-effective and can be priced very favourably.
«We are looking forward to offering our customers a new and even more advanced product than before,» says Morten Tengs, managing director of Telenor Global Services AS. «This makes us competitive and links the Nordic countries to our European network and our Trans-Atlantic solutions.»
Telenor Global Services is a company within the Telenor group. The company provides international wholesale services to telecom operators and mobile operators throughout the world. TGS offers a broad portfolio of services including international voice termination, broadband capacity and GRX solutions. Telenor Global Services had a turnover of almost NOK 1.9 billion last year. The company has 75 employees.
