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 Oyj:n huhti–kesäkuun 2026 liiketoimintakatsaus: Tasainen kehitys jatkui kireässä markkinatilanteessa16.7.2026 08:30:00 EEST | Tiedote
Kireään kilpailutilanteeseen nähden kuluvan vuoden toinen neljännes oli DNA:lle taloudellisesti varsin hyvä. Huhti–kesäkuussa liikevaihto pysyi liki samalla tasolla vuodentakaiseen ajanjaksoon verrattuna. Käyttökate kasvoi, erityisesti kun vertailussa huomioidaan DNA:n IoT-liiketoiminnan siirto toiseen Telenorin konserniyhtiöön kuluvan vuoden alussa. Kiinteiden laajakaistaliittymien ja matkaviestinverkon liittymien määrät kasvoivat, mutta niiden keskilaskutus hieman laski.
DNA Plc’s Business Review for April–June 2026: Steady development continued in a highly competitive market environment16.7.2026 08:30:00 EEST | Press release
Considering the intense competitive landscape, the second quarter of the current year was financially quite strong for DNA. During April–June, revenue remained nearly at the same level as in the corresponding period last year. EBITDA increased, particularly when taking into account the transfer of DNA’s IoT business to another Telenor Group company at the beginning of the year. The number of fixed broadband and mobile network subscriptions increased, while their average revenue per user declined slightly.
Etätyöt ja suoratoisto seuraavat myös mökille – näin korjaat takkuilevan mökkinetin14.7.2026 14:28:47 EEST | Tiedote
Mökkikausi on monelle myös etätyö-, suoratoisto- ja yhteydenpitokautta, jolloin toimivan nettiyhteyden merkitys korostuu. DNA:n tuoreen Digitaalinen elämä -tutkimuksen mukaan 21 % suomalaisista on kohdannut haasteita nettiyhteytensä kanssa. Vaikka ongelmia esiintyy yleisimmin kodin internetyhteyksissä, myös mökeillä yhteyden hitaus tai toimimattomuus aiheuttaa päänvaivaa osalle käyttäjistä. Moni ongelmista ratkeaa kuitenkin jo yksinkertaisilla toimenpiteillä, joista helpoin on modeemin uudelleenkäynnistys.
Remote work and streaming follow people also to the summer cottage – here’s how to fix a slow cottage internet connection14.7.2026 14:28:47 EEST | Press release
For many, the summer cottage season is also a season of remote work, streaming and staying connected with loved ones, which makes the importance of a functioning internet connection all the more pronounced. According to DNA’s latest Digital Life survey, 21% of Finns have encountered challenges with their internet connection. Although problems occur most commonly with home internet connections, slow or non-functioning connections at summer cottages also cause headaches for some users. However, many of these problems can be solved with simple measures, the easiest of which is restarting the modem.
