DNA launches a new corporate service: Nordic Connect — bringing Nordic businesses together

Nordic Connect is an Internet Protocol Virtual Private Network (IP VPN) service, connecting business sites across the Nordic region. The core service is a private network capable of connecting a company's sites in Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark.

The Nordic Connect service is the first example of the many ways cooperation within Telenor will benefit DNA customers. With Telenor as its owner, DNA is set to become a more competitive partner for a growing number of companies operating in the Nordics.

- Our customers have been asking for an easy and secure networking service covering the entire Nordic region, and we can now deliver a service to meet their needs. Nordic Connect is a secure and private network service for businesses. It covers both mobile and fixed corporate network connectivity and DNA acts as a single point of contact for the service delivery and operation, explains Tuukka Toivonen, responsible for corporate products and services at DNA.

Delivered in partnership with Telenor, the Finnish Nordic Connect service will immediately improve DNA's service capability and lay the foundations for further product enhancements and portfolio synergies.

On 21 August of this year, the Norwegian telecom company Telenor became DNA’s principal owner with a 54% stake, which has since risen to around 98%. Having already been a major player in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, Telenor’s acquisition of DNA has further strengthened its position in the Nordic markets. Telenor is in the process of developing cooperation between country organisations and has recently created a new Nordic cluster, focusing on leveraging synergies, creating growth and developing customer experience.
