DNA's 5G network already covers almost a third of the Finnish population – this is how the network will expand in 2021

DNA’s 5G services are currently available in Espoo, Heinola, Helsinki, Hyvinkää, Hämeenlinna, Jyväskylä, Järvenpää, Kaarina, Kauniainen, Kerava, Kuopio, Lahti, Lieto, Naantali, Nokia, Nurmijärvi, Oulu, Pirkkala, Pori, Raahe, Raisio, Rauma, Rusko, Seinäjoki, Sipoo, Tampere, Turku, Tuusula, Vaasa, Vantaa, Ylivieska and Ylöjärvi.
In addition to these 32 cities and towns, DNA’s 5G network reaches up to 45 other municipalities with a more local coverage. This means that it is possible to connect to the 5G network in certain areas of up to 77 municipalities. DNA announces new 5G locations after the network comprehensively serves the region’s most densely populated areas. During the rest of this year, the 5G network is scheduled to be launched yet in Kangasala.
In 2021, DNA’s 5G network will be launched in at least Hollola, Kirkkonummi, Kokkola, Kotka, Kouvola, Lohja, Mikkeli, Orimattila, Porvoo, Raasepori, Riihimäki, Salo and Vihti. In addition to bringing the network to these new municipalities, the existing 5G network coverage will be expanded, particularly in Espoo, Helsinki, Hämeenlinna, Jyväskylä, Kauniainen, Kuopio, Lahti, Oulu, Pori, Rauma, Seinäjoki, Sipoo, Vaasa and Vantaa.
Bringing 5G where it is needed the most – construction in early 2021
In January of next year, the expansion of the 5G network continues in Helsinki city centre, Espoo, Vantaa and Lahti. Furthermore, construction started this year will be finalised in Turku and Tampere. New towns will also be added to the network starting from the beginning of the year, some in accordance with the list of municipalities and some based on current 4G network data. This means that base stations will be renewed in the regions, cities and towns where the need for additional capacity is the greatest.
“We are constantly monitoring the capacity of our 4G base stations across Finland. We are by no means focusing solely on constructing our network in big cities, and smaller towns are constantly added where the need for faster connections and additional capacity is the greatest,” says Jarkko Laari, Director, Radio Networks, DNA.
Finnish Shared Network Ltd, a company jointly owned by DNA Plc and Telia Finland Oyj, will start building a new 5G network in northern and eastern Finland. Finnish Shared Network’s three-year 5G network construction project will start in early 2021. With combined frequencies of Telia and DNA, Finnish Shared Network will be able to construct a completely new high-capacity radio network that offers fast and delay-free connections to customers of the operators for years to come. More information on the progress of Finnish Shared Network’s 5G construction project will be provided in the coming months.
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.

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.

Apple vei kärkipaikan sekä DNA:n kuluttaja- että yritysasiakkaiden myydyimpien puhelinten listalla iPhone 16 Pro 5G -mallillaan. 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.
