DNA supplies broadband services to Hoas apartments in the Helsinki region

The agreement covers all Hoas apartments in the capital area, and approximately 18,000 broadband access points are connected to the service. In addition to the existing properties, DNA will also supply broadband connections to new Hoas locations in the future. Hoasnet is a free additional service used in Hoas apartments.
DNA’s Hoasnet will be available first in three properties in the Arabianranta neighbourhood in November this year. The remaining properties will be connected in stages by the end of November 2020.
“Fast broadband services and a versatile entertainment selection are an essential part of the comforts of student housing. We are very pleased to join the modern real-estate operator Hoas in the development of a future living environment. Our efficient fibre-based network ensures the high quality and capacity of broadband services far into the future,” explains Sales Director Tiitus Ranta from DNA.
“We are very happy to offer students everyday comforts together with DNA. We want to offer our residents the most comfortable and easiest student housing, and high-quality broadband services are an important part of this goal,” says Kim Lindholm, Real Estate and Facility Director at Hoas.
The Hoasnet service, which is supplied to the apartments, is a DNA Netti subscription with a base speed of 200 Mbps. Residents can order up to 1,000 Mbps, i.e. 1 Gbps, of additional speed of their choosing.
“Student homes have more and more devices utilising the Internet at the same time. The user experience of the devices and, in general, online services is directly linked to the quality and speed of the Internet connection. We also know that this specific age group follows TV services and other moving images over broadband significantly more often than other age groups, so internet speed is an essential part of the residents’ everyday life,” Tiitus Ranta comments.
Residents have access to all of DNA’s modern TV services, which can be used both at home and on mobile devices. The apartments are provided with the publicly available basic channels for free through DNA’s cable network. In addition, residents can subscribe to the programme content of their choosing and order a DNA TV Hub, which connects the Internet, television, streaming services and other applications into one simple package.
More detailed information regarding the implementation of the services is sent to the apartments as the planning and connections progress.

Tutkimus: Moni pitää älylaitteiden omaa tietoturvaa riittävänä, vaikka se ei tarjoakaan riittävää suojaa2.7.2025 08:30:00 EEST | Tiedote
Suomalaiset kokevat tietoturvan entistä tärkeämmäksi ja kaikkia koskettavaksi asiaksi. Samalla yhä useampi jättää älylaitteensa suojaamatta tietoturvauhilta ja kokee tietoturvaratkaisut kalliiksi, selviää DNA:n teettämästä Digitaalinen elämä -kyselytutkimuksesta. Noin kolmasosa (35 %) suomalaisista luottaa siihen, että laitteiden oma tietoturva on riittävä. Asiantuntija pitää tätä huolestuttavana, sillä älylaitteiden tietoturva ei itsessään ole tarpeeksi kattava.
Survey: Many consider their smart devices' security sufficient, even though it does not provide adequate protection2.7.2025 08:30:00 EEST | Press release
Finns view cybersecurity as a topic that is increasingly important and universal. However, more individuals leave their smart devices unprotected against security threats, feeling that security solutions are too expensive, according to DNA’s Digital Life 2025 survey. Approximately one-third (35%) of Finns trust that their devices' built-in security is sufficient. This is concerning, as the security of smart devices alone is not comprehensive enough.

Applen iPhone 13 5G säilytti puolestaan ensimmäisen sijan käytettyjen puhelinten listalla. Kesäkuun myydyimpien älykellojen kärkisijat menivät lasten kellopuhelimille. Myydyimpien tuotteiden kärkeen kiilasi Xplora XGO2 -kellopuhelin, ja listan toiselle sijalle nousi ZTE K1 Pro -kellopuhelin. Toisen kvartaalin myydyimmän tietokoneen paikan otti Applen MacBook Air 13" M2.
Puhelimen katoamiseen kannattaa varautua jo ennakolta – tee ainakin nämä toimet uudelle puhelimelle27.6.2025 11:54:39 EEST | Tiedote
Välillä sattuu ja tapahtuu – puhelimille siis. Jos puhelin katoaa tai varastetaan, uuden laitteen saa tilalle, mutta sen sisältämien tietojen päätyminen vääriin käsiin voi aiheuttaa ongelmia. Onneksi tilanteeseen voi varautua ennakolta, jolloin vahingot jäävät pienemmiksi.
