Tele2 announced that Nokia will be its core partner for standalone 5G networks. More specifically, Nokia said it will deploy standalone 5G core and voice-over-5G technology for the operator in Sweden, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia.
Until recently, Sweden’s position regarding the ongoing security concerns of Huawei’s participation in 5G networks remained somewhat unclear. For its part, Tele2 had been reluctant to name vendor partners and at one point, described the Chinese company as a “viable vendor.”
