ESPOO, Finland -- Sonera, one of the leading mobile operators in Finland, has introduced extremely fast 300 Mbps download data speeds in certain areas of Helsinki. The operator launched its commercial LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) network and is now able to provide higher network capacity, speed and performance.
Carrier aggregation accelerates typical user data rates by more flexible radio resource selection in LTE-Advanced networks. Operators can create larger, virtual carrier bandwidths for services by combining separate spectrum bands. Nokia’s LTE-Advanced networks can deliver data to mobile devices at rates most people have never experienced on a residential broadband connection. Sonera now offers data speeds in Finland’s capital up to two times faster than previously possible with 4G LTE.
