The new base stations offer 5G coverage extensively in and around central Ylivieska; at least in Hollihaka, Kaisaniemi, Niemenranta, Puuhkala, Toivonpuisto, Hakalahti, Koskipuhto, Kivioja and Alpuminkangas. 

“I’m very happy to welcome the residents of Ylivieska to enjoy DNA’s 5G services. At first, the service is available in the city centre area, with expansions coming later on. At the same time, the updates we have made also strengthen our already fast 4G network in this area,” says Jarkko Laari, Director, Radio Networks, DNA.

In addition to Ylivieska, DNA’s comprehensive 5G services are available in Espoo, Heinola, Helsinki, Hyvinkää, Hämeenlinna, Jyväskylä, Kauniainen, Kuopio, Lahti, Lieto, Nokia, Oulu, Pirkkala, Pori, Raahe, Raisio, Rauma, Rusko, Seinäjoki, Sipoo, Tampere, Turku, Vaasa, Vantaa and Ylöjärvi.

In addition to these municipalities, DNA’s 5G network reaches the areas of up to 39 other municipalities with a more local coverage, which means that it’s possible to use DNA’s 5G connection in up to 65 municipalities. However, the network in these 39 locations has mainly been built for the needs of Koti 5G customers, for example, with residential areas as the priority. DNA announces new 5G locations when the network also serves the region’s most densely populated areas. 

DNA’s 5G network coverage is quickly approaching 1.5 million Finns, and the objective will be reached within the next two months. The network will be expanded especially in the already-existing 5G municipalities, although openings will also be made in completely new areas. The objective for the rest of the year is to launch a 5G network in at least Järvenpää, Kaarina, Kangasala, Kerava, Naantali, Nurmijärvi and Hyrylä in Tuusula.

Coverage map of DNA’s 5G network and additional information is available at www.dna.fi/5G. There is a delay in updating the coverage map, which is why the newest base stations might not be visible yet.

Toimi näin, jos epäilet tietojesi vuotaneen käyttämäsi palvelun tietomurrossa2.10.2026 08:55:00 EEST | Tiedote

Tietomurroista ja tietovuodoista on jälleen uutisoitu viime viikkoina runsaasti. Nykyään henkilötietoja on tallennettuna lukuisiin verkkopalveluihin, sovelluksiin ja asiakasrekistereihin. Vaikka käyttäisi tunnettuja ja luotettavia palveluita, voivat myös ne joutua tietomurron kohteeksi. Tietomurron vaikutukset eivät yleensä pääty itse tietomurtoon, vaan vuotaneita tietoja voidaan hyödyntää pitkään esimerkiksi kalasteluyrityksissä, tilien kaappauksissa ja identiteettivarkauksissa. DNA:n kuluttajaliiketoiminnan lisäarvopalveluista vastaava johtaja Heidi Havastila kertoo, miten mahdollisen tietovuodon vaikutuksia voi pienentää ennalta ja mitä kannattaa tehdä, jos epäilee omien tietojensa vuotaneen.

What to do if you suspect your data has been leaked in a breach affecting a service you use2.10.2026 08:55:00 EEST | Press release

There have once again been numerous news reports on data breaches and data leaks in recent weeks. Today, personal data is stored in numerous online services, applications and customer registers. Even well-known and trusted services can become targets of data breaches. The consequences often extend far beyond the breach itself, as leaked information may be exploited for a long time in phishing attempts, account takeovers and identity theft. Heidi Havastila, Director responsible for value-added services in DNA’s Consumer Business, explains how people can reduce the potential impact of a data leak in advance and what to do if they suspect their information has been compromised.
