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.

Allt färre yngre skolelever har en egen mobiltelefon29.4.2026 09:00:00 EEST | Tiedote
Den färska Skolbarnundersökningen visar att allt färre elever i årskurs 1–3 har en egen mobiltelefon. Samtidigt är den tid barn tillbringar med mobiltelefonen betydligt längre än den dagliga skärmtid som Institutet för hälsa och välfärd (THL) rekommenderar. Även enligt föräldrarna är en lämplig daglig användningstid för mobiltelefon större än vad de senaste digitala rekommendationerna anger. I den årliga enkätundersökning som DNA låter genomföra deltog 2 100 vårdnadshavare till barn i åldern 5–16 år.
Koululaistutkimus: Oma puhelin on entistä harvemmalla pikkukoululaisella29.4.2026 09:00:00 EEST | Tiedote
Tuoreesta Koululaistutkimuksesta selviää, että 1.–3.-luokkalaisten omat puhelimet harvinaistuvat koko ajan. Sen sijaan lasten puhelimella viettämä aika on rutkasti runsaampi kuin THL:n suosittama päivittäinen ruutuaika. Myös vanhempien mielestä sopiva puhelimen käyttöaika päivässä on suurempi kuin mitä tuore digisuositus ohjeistaa. DNA:n vuosittain teettämään kyselytutkimukseen vastasi 2100 vanhempaa, joiden lapset ovat iältään 5–16-vuotiaita.
School Survey: Fewer young primary school children have their own phone29.4.2026 09:00:00 EEST | Press release
The latest School Survey shows that personal phones among children in grades 1–3 are becoming increasingly rare. At the same time, the amount of time children spend using phones clearly exceeds the daily screen time recommended by the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL). Parents also consider a higher amount of daily phone use appropriate than what the most recent digital recommendations advise. The annual survey commissioned by DNA was answered by 2,100 parents of children aged 5–16.
DNA Oyj:n tammi–maaliskuun 2026 liiketoimintakatsaus: Liiketoiminta kehittyi tasaisesti kiristyneessä markkinatilanteessa28.4.2026 08:30:00 EEST | Tiedote
DNA:n liiketoiminta on kehittynyt vuoden 2026 ensimmäisellä vuosineljänneksellä erittäin kireään kilpailutilanteeseen nähden suhteellisen hyvin. Tammi–maaliskuussa liikevaihto ja palveluliikevaihto pysyivät samalla tasolla vuodentakaiseen ajanjaksoon verrattuna. Vertailukelpoinen palveluliikevaihto ja käyttökate paranivat erityisesti huomioiden DNA:n IoT-liiketoiminnan siirron toiseen Telenorin konserniyhtiöön. Kiinteiden laajakaistaliittymien määrä kasvoi, ja matkaviestinverkon liittymämäärä pysyi tasaisena.
Plc’s January–March 2026 Interim Review: Business developed steadily in a tightened market situation28.4.2026 08:30:00 EEST | Press release
DNA’s business developed relatively well in the first quarter of 2026, given the extremely intense competitive environment. In January–March, revenue and service revenue remained at the same level as in the corresponding period last year. Comparable service revenue and EBITDA improved, particularly taking into account the transfer of DNA’s IoT business to another Telenor Group company. The number of fixed broadband subscriptions increased, and the number of mobile subscriptions remained stable.
