From 2003 to 2007 DanCell provided management services to the founders of the Swedish operation Nordisk Mobiltelefon Sverige A/S. DanCell carried out the initial radio planning which eventually lead to the consortium winning the license in a head on competition with other local and international consortia. DanCell continued the support of the Swedish team in the initial years of operation and supported the critical network roll out and winning of contracts with regional authorities.
The network is based on CDMA2000 in the 450MHz band thus providing excellent broadband coverage with approximately 5% to 10% of the infrastructure needed for other broadband technologies.
Today the network is branded under the ice.net label and has by far the most effective broadband coverage in the country. More information about ice.net in Sweden can be found at http://www.ice.net/se/. The English translation of the webpage can be found at the following link.
Together with long term associates in Sweden Erik Hornung designed a green network for Sweden. Being 450,000 sq km (174,000 sq miles) large with only 9.3 million inhabitants the issue is very present in most peoples life. Public speculations are now that the incumbent operator will take the opportunity to get out its very costly service obligations to provide basic wired telephony to households in the vast remote areas of the country.
Being in the network design business too DanCell has taken its own medicine and helped clients by designing networks with reduced CO2 emissions to less than 20% of conventional mobile broadband networks targeting a reduction to 5% of the normal CO2 emission as an obtainable goal.
