Briefly in English
Digita’s @450 service delivers wireless broadband right where it is needed. It is a digital mobile network, which offers ADSL telecommunications connections for private and business use. @450 is the only broadband solution that you can take with you wherever you go.
@450 utilises the NMT network frequency range released from mobile phone use. The broadband solution has a low frequency range so it is possible to cover broad geographical areas with a single base station. This means that the network lends itself well to use as a connection network covering all parts of Finland. Digita will construct the network using sophisticated Flash-OFDM technology. Developed by U.S. Flarion (now Qualcomm), the Flash-OFDM (Fast Low-latency Access with Seamless Handoff Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) is a system intended for wireless data transmission.
Digita launched the @450 network on 1 April 2007, at which stage it covered the entire southern area of the Helsinki-Turku-Tampere axis, as well as the area between Oulu and Vuotso. Scheduled for completion in stages, the network will cover the entire country by the end of the year 2009. Its building and scheduling in different localities depends on the needs expressed by service providers and regions.
With Digita’s @450 map service, you can search those localities in the map service where the @450 network is available. The map service is based on address and municipality search.
Digita will construct the @450 network using an open network model, in which Digita will act as the network operator offering network capacity to all service providers under equal terms. Digita’s customers in the @450 network are service providers, who sell network services to consumers. This means that Digita will not offer the services directly to consumers. The costs accruing to consumers from use of the network are determined by the service providers, who also sell terminal equipment for the network. The service is currently provided by Oy M & P Systems Ltd, Fujitsu Services, TeliaSonera Finland and their several partners.
@450 brings wireless broadband to:
- Homes: in sparsely-populated areas and cities - the home connection can be easily packed for use at the holiday cottage as well. The service allows web surfing, on-line gaming and chatting.
- Holiday cottages: of course you do not necessarily have to work on holiday, but would a web connection also attract the family’s teenagers to spend some time at the cottage?
- Mobile work: access to data network from trucks, buses and trams – intelligent traffic enhances safety and offers users up-to-date information on traffic flows. During the trip passengers can access the Internet from a laptop computer.
- Leisure-time: if you are a boating enthusiast or caravaner, @450 also makes Internet connection available in the archipelago and camping sites.
- Companies: @450 broadband can be used as part of operative business e.g. in companies with mobile employees, such as logistics companies, servicing companies and the forest industry. @450 is the choice of an effective, cost-conscious company – the staff can use the same network at work, on the move and at home. @450 also allows video conferencing.
