en.Wedoany.com Reported - Telia has launched Sweden's first advanced 5G commercial service, named Telia Critical IoT Connectivity, which is based on 5G Standalone (5G SA) technology and is now deployed across Telia's entire 5G network. Designed to connect devices in critical operations, this service aims to meet high demands for secure, stable, and predictable connectivity.
By enabling 5G SA on its public mobile network, where both the radio access network and core network are based on 5G technology, Telia allows businesses and the public sector to transition from pilot projects to actual operations. Telia Critical IoT Connectivity is Sweden's first commercial service based on 5G SA, developed with insights from Telia's innovation project NorthStar. This service is primarily aimed at enterprises and societal functions where disaster preparedness and crisis management are the norm, including emergency response agencies and participants in the energy, transportation, industrial, and healthcare sectors, which require reliable mobile communications as a prerequisite for using interconnected digital solutions in the most demanding scenarios.
The service leverages the inherent features of 5G SA technology, including network slicing, lower latency, and improved security. It is optimized for video and data, and provides stable performance through smarter traffic management on the mobile network, even under high load. Specific application scenarios include interconnected digital solutions for emergency vehicles, road signs, power grids, and surveillance cameras.
In recent years, Telia has modernized its mobile network through billions in investments and built a new nationwide 5G network to strengthen Sweden's digital infrastructure. Beyond higher speeds and greater capacity, 5G includes dedicated features for connecting digital solutions that serve the most critical parts of businesses and society. Telia has tested these capabilities in areas such as transportation, industry, energy, and defense, in collaboration with stakeholders from the commercial, public, and academic sectors. This work was carried out within the NorthStar innovation project and in parallel with the 5G network expansion. These experiences have laid the foundation for developing new advanced 5G services, with Telia Critical IoT Connectivity being the first commercially launched service. Fredrik Stenberg, Head of Telia's Enterprise Business, stated: "This is not just a technological leap. With advanced 5G, Telia creates conditions for businesses and the public sector to use new digital solutions in the most critical and demanding parts of their operations, without compromising security and controllability."
