DNA provides Finnair with global communication solutions and next-generation network solutions
Finnair and DNA have signed an agreement on global communication and next-generation network solutions. The agreement covers Finnair’s international software-driven (SDx) network solution and a comprehensive mobile solution. The mobile solution includes the delivery of customer text messages and roaming services.
