DNA launches a new corporate service: Nordic Connect — bringing Nordic businesses together
11.11.2019 10:00:00 EET | DNA Oyj | Press release
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.

Älypuhelinten käyttö vähenee pienillä lapsilla – pelkkä rajoittaminen ei silti riitä20.5.2026 09:15:00 EEST | Tiedote
DNA panostaa vahvasti ja pitkäjänteisesti lasten digiturvataitojen kehittämiseen yhteistyökumppaninsa Suojellaan Lapsia ry:n kanssa, joka on järjestänyt pienille koululaisille digiturvatyöpajoja jo useamman vuoden ajan. Tänä keväänä yhtiö jakoi lisäksi digitaitojen tehtävävihkoja yli 230 000 suomalaiseen kotiin. Vaikka älypuhelinten käyttö aloitetaan aiempaa myöhemmin, lapset kohtaavat verkossa suuriakin riskejä – ja siksi digiturvataitojen merkitys korostuu entisestään. Aihe korostuu juuri nyt, kun koululaisten kesälomat alkavat ennen vanhempien lomakautta. Kesäkuussa moni lapsi viettää pitkiä aikoja kotona ja verkossa ilman aikuisen valvontaa, mikä lisää riskiä kohdata haitallista sisältöä tai epäasiallisia yhteydenottoja.
Smartphone use is declining among small children – but limiting the use is not enough20.5.2026 09:15:00 EEST | Press release
DNA is consistently developing children’s digital safety skills together with its partner Protect Children Association, which has been organizing digital safety workshops for young schoolchildren for several years. This spring, the company also distributed digital skills exercise booklets to more than 230,000 Finnish homes. Although children are starting to use smartphones later than before, they still face major risks online – which makes digital safety skills more important than ever. The topic is particularly relevant right now, as school summer holidays begin before many parents start their own vacations. In June, many children spend long periods at home and online without adult supervision, which increases the risk of encountering harmful content or inappropriate contact.
Kevätsiivouksessa sivuutetaan usein elektroniikka – vanhoja laitteita ei kannata jättää kaapin pohjalle19.5.2026 13:00:00 EEST | Tiedote
Kevätsiivouksen yhteydessä vanhat puhelimet, tabletit ja johdot päätyvät monessa kodissa takaisin laatikon pohjalle, koska niiden jatkokohtalosta ei osata päättää tai oikeista kierrätystavoista ei tiedetä. DNA:n laitemyynnin osastopäällikkö Jesse Kieksin mukaan kyseessä on haitallinen tapa, joka voi aiheuttaa tietoturva- ja turvallisuusriskejä sekä turhaa rahanmenetystä ja ympäristökuormitusta.
Electronics often overlooked in spring cleaning – old devices should not be left at the back of a drawer19.5.2026 13:00:00 EEST | Press release
During spring cleaning, old phones, tablets and cables often end up back at the bottom of drawers in many homes, as people are unsure what to do with them or are unfamiliar with proper recycling methods. According to Jesse Kieksi, Head of Device Sales at DNA, this is a harmful habit that can lead to data security and safety risks, as well as unnecessary financial loss and environmental harm.
