DNA launched a 5G network in Kauniainen – the population coverage in Finland surpasses 1.2 million
7.10.2020 09:45:00 EEST | DNA Oyj | Press release
“It’s a great pleasure to welcome the residents in Kauniainen to enjoy our 5G services. The city’s coverage has been ensured with several base stations, and they complement the rapid spread of our 5G network in the Helsinki metropolitan area,” says Jarkko Laari, Director, Radio Networks, DNA.
DNA has been busy constructing its 5G network during the autumn. Next to Kauniainen, in Espoo, the 5G coverage has been strengthened particularly along the coast, where the service area reaches almost uninterruptedly from Otaniemi to Suomenoja. Right now, the 5G coverage in eastern Espoo is also improving every day in areas such as Laajalahti, Perkkaa, Mäkkylä, Leppävaara, Kilo and Karakallio.
Construction has also been rapid in Vantaa and Helsinki during the autumn. In addition to the coverage in the inner city, DNA’s 5G service area reaches almost uninterruptedly from Laajasalo in Helsinki to Vuosaari, as well as Laajasalo to Länsimäki in Vantaa. Many places in northern Helsinki also have good 5G coverage, as well as the areas near Tikkurila and the airport in Vantaa.
The 5G network’s population coverage surpasses 1.2 million
The coverage of DNA’s 5G network is already more than 1.2 million people, and the population coverage of 1.5 million will be exceeded by the end of the year. In order to achieve this goal, the network is being developed in existing areas, and it will also be launched in new locations. The objective for the rest of the year is to launch a comprehensive network in Järvenpää, Kaarina, Kangasala, Kerava, Naantali, Nurmijärvi and Hyrylä in Tuusula.
In addition to Kauniainen, DNA’s 5G services are currently available in Espoo, Heinola, Helsinki, Hyvinkää, Hämeenlinna, Jyväskylä, Kuopio, Lahti, Lieto, Nokia, Oulu, Pirkkala, Pori, Raahe, Raisio, Rauma, Rusko, Seinäjoki, Sipoo, Tampere, Turku, Vaasa, Vantaa and Ylöjärvi.
In addition to these 25 municipalities, DNA’s 5G network reaches up to 30 other municipalities with a more local coverage, which means that it’s possible to use DNA’s 5G connection in up to 55 municipalities. However, in these 30 locations, the network is mainly built for the needs of Home 5G customers. DNA announces new 5G locations when the 5G network serves in the region’s most densely populated areas.
The top 15 best-selling phones at DNA included already four 5G phones in September. Almost all manufacturers offer 5G models in various price classes.

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.
