DNA provides the City of Turku with communications services – better coverage for the city and more mobile tools for staff
9.6.2022 10:00:00 EEST | DNA Oyj | Press release
Through the joint project, DNA has improved coverage and data transfer speeds throughout the city and neighbouring municipalities. DNA’s 4G and 5G networks have expanded with the establishment of dozens of new base stations, and the data transfer capacity has been increased in areas with high mobile data usage.
In addition, DNA has modernised the technical environment of the City’s communications services, giving City employees access to newer and more effective mobile applications.
“Switching the City’s telecommunications operator has been a big project, and having an excellent partner has been important to its success. The City’s goal during the project was to achieve cost benefits, improve reporting and minimise the outages caused by swapping thousands of plans. The most active phase of the project has come to an end, and going forward, we will be able to focus on realising the benefits of the swap,” explains the City of Turku’s IT Manager Joni Ilmanen.
“Good communications services help to boost the efficiency of work significantly. The City exchanges an enormous amount of important data on a daily basis, and DNA’s voice, mobile data and text message services, along with their associated applications, offer an excellent set of tools for reaching the right contacts and communicating effectively,” says DNA’s Sales Director Kenneth Grönroos.
“We are very pleased with our cooperation with the City of Turku and we want to be an active, easy-to-reach and constantly improving partner to them,” Grönroos continues.
The agreement between DNA and the City of Turku covers mobile communications in terms of both voice and mobile data for the thousands of City employees working in places ranging from schools to health centres, along with all the other functions of the City.
Both parties want to establish a long-term partnership.

Kysely: Suomalaisilta selvä linjaus millainen on paras etätyömalli – DNA kulkee vastavirtaan viimeaikaisen kehityksen kanssa23.9.2026 08:30:00 EEST | Tiedote
Samalla kun moni työnantaja kiristää toimistovaatimuksiaan, DNA on päättänyt pitää kiinni mallista, jota yhtiö on noudattanut jo pitkään. DNA:lla ei ole lähityöpakkoa, eikä yhtiö seuraa toimistolla vietettyjen päivien määrää. DNA on myös tutkinut aihetta sekä sisäisesti että laajemmin ulkoisesti. DNA:n teettämän Digitaalinen elämä -tutkimuksen mukaan 41 prosenttia niistä suomalaisista, joiden on mahdollisuus tehdä etätöitä, työskentelee suurimman osan ajasta työpaikalla. Noin joka viides ilmoittaa työskentelevänsä yhtä paljon sekä toimistolla että etänä, ja 23 prosenttia kertoo työskentelevänsä suurimman osan ajasta etänä. 61 prosenttia niistä, joiden on mahdollista tehdä etätöitä, kertoo, että hybridityö olisi heille sopivin tapa tehdä töitä.
Survey: Finns Clearly Favor a Specific Remote Work Model, DNA Is Going Against the Recent Trend23.9.2026 08:30:00 EEST | Press release
While many employers are tightening their return-to-office requirements, DNA has chosen to stick with the model it has followed for years. At DNA, there is no office attendance mandate, and the company does not track the number of days employees spend in the office. DNA has also researched the topic both internally and through broader external studies. According to the Digital Life survey commissioned by DNA, 41% of Finns who have the opportunity to work remotely spend most of their working time at their workplace. Around one in five report working equally from the office and remotely, while 23% say they work remotely most of the time. Among those who have the possibility to work remotely, 61% state that hybrid work would be the most suitable way for them to work.
Ainakin 18 000 lasta kohtaa seksuaalista häirintää verkossa joka viikko – DNA ja Suojellaan Lapsia ry tekevät ilmiön näkyväksi Helsingin Kansalaistorilla10.9.2026 08:15:00 EEST | Tiedote
Ainakin 18 000 lasta kohtaa seksuaalista häirintää sosiaalisessa mediassa joka viikko Suomessa, osoittavat tuoreet tutkimusluvut. DNA ja Suojellaan Lapsia ry tekevät ilmiön näkyväksi Helsingin Kansalaistorilla 10. syyskuuta alkaen installaatiolla, joka havainnollistaa hätkähdyttävällä tavalla lapsiin verkossa kohdistuvan häirinnän mittakaavaa. Samalla halutaan tehdä kuvakaappauksesta jokaisen lapsen ja aikuisen tuntema digiturvataito, joka voi auttaa lasta hakemaan apua häirintätilanteissa.

DNA:n elokuun 2026 myydyimmät puhelimet ja älykellot1.9.2026 08:00:00 EEST | Tiedote
DNA:n elokuun kuluttajamyynnissä korostuivat Applen uusimmat iPhone 17 -sarjan puhelimet sekä koululaisten tarpeisiin hankitut edullisemmat Android-laitteet. Poikkeuksellisesti myydyimpien puhelinten listalla nähtiin laitteita vain kolmelta valmistajalta. Yritysasiakkaiden hankinnoissa suosituimpia olivat edelleen premium-luokan älypuhelimet ja kustannustehokkaat 5G-laitteet. Älykellojen puolella lasten kellopuhelimet jatkoivat vahvaa kasvuaan, ja ZTE K2 säilytti asemansa myydyimpänä laitteena jo viidettä kuukautta peräkkäin.
