MUNICH -- Cutting-edge telecommunication technology comes to one of the world's most remote locations: The Siemens Communications Group is supplying high-speed Internet technology and new mobile communication technology to Greenland.

57,000 inhabitants are being equipped with Europe's fastest Internet, ADSL2+, enabling them to surf the World Wide Web even faster and more conveniently than their 700 million neighbors on the European mainland.

Telecommunication - whether mobile phone coverage literally in the middle of nowhere or a high-speed Internet connection for medical telediagnosis - is absolutely vital to the population here. Government-owned telecommunication operator Tele Greenland entrusted Siemens with the task of supplying and building the technology. This carrier operates one of the most modern networks in Europe to provide the best possible networking for its customers under Greenland's difficult geographical conditions.
