DNA launched a 5G network in Ylivieska – population coverage is approaching 1.5 million
29.10.2020 10:15:00 EET | DNA Oyj | Press release
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.

DNA:n kesäkuun 2026 myydyimmät puhelimet, älykellot ja tietokoneet1.7.2026 08:00:00 EEST | Tiedote
Vasta kuukausi sitten Suomen markkinoille palannut Realme loi historiallisen ilmiön puhelinmarkkinassa. Realme GT 8 Pro 5G nousi suoraan DNA:n kuluttaja-asiakkaiden kesäkuun myydyimmäksi puhelimeksi. Myös älykellojen kategoriassa todistettiin merkittävää voittokulkua, kun myydyimpänä mallina säilyi jo kolmatta kuukautta peräkkäin ZTE K2 -lasten kellopuhelin. Huhti–kesäkuun tietokonemyynnin kärkipaikan nappasi puolestaan Acer Chromebook 314.
Tietomurto ei yleensä jää tietomurroksi – kesällä vuotaneita tietoja käytetään matkailu- ja lippuhuijauksissa29.6.2026 09:00:00 EEST | Tiedote
Kesä tuo mukanaan matkustamisen, festarit ja verkkokauppaostokset, mutta samalla myös huijausten sesongin. Viimeaikaiset tietomurtotapaukset muistuttavat, että kuka tahansa voi joutua tietovuodon kohteeksi, vaikka käyttäisi tunnettuja ja luotettavia palveluita. Yksi harkitsematon klikkaus, sivullisen näkemä puhelimen tunnuskoodi tai vuotaneiden tietojen päätyminen rikollisten käsiin voi pilata loman jo ennen kuin se ehtii alkaa.
A Data Breach Rarely Ends with the Breach Itself – Leaked Data Is Used in Travel and Ticket Scams During the Summer29.6.2026 09:00:00 EEST | Press release
Summer brings travel, festivals and online shopping, but also peak season for scammers. Recent data breach incidents serve as a reminder that anyone can become a victim of a data leak, even when using well-known and trusted services. A single careless click, a phone passcode seen by a bystander, or leaked information ending up in the hands of criminals can ruin a holiday before it even begins.

Suomalaisten mielestä yritysten pitäisi kantaa paremmin vastuunsa tietoturvasta. Tätä mieltä oli yli 80 prosenttia vastaajista DNA:n teettämässä Digitaalinen elämä -kyselytutkimuksessa. Asiantuntija muistuttaa, että myös kuluttajilla on vastuu, mitä palveluita he käyttävät. Jokainen voi kuitenkin tarkistaa, että digipalvelussa on huomioitu tietoturva.
