Digital Infrastructure Strategy 2025: Turning Finland into the world leader in communications networks
Description
The digital infrastructure strategy specifies Finland's technology-neutral broadband objectives for 2025 and the means by which they will be achieved. The needs of both business and consumers have been taken into consideration in the strategy. The strategy contains measures for promoting the implementation of 5G and supporting optical fibre construction. The strategy also identifies key challenges facing the digitalisation of services and existing infrastructure as well as data needs, which are crucial to, for example, automated transportation. The strategy is in line with global development trends, such as augmented reality, the Internet of Things, automation, artificial intelligence and M2M communication. High-quality and reliable communications networks pave the way for these services and new innovations. The measures proposed in the strategy involve, among other things, the construction of 5G networks and frequency policy, streamlining network permit and construction procedures, promoting market functionality, and supporting research and innovation.
