TDC LogoTDC Denmark has announced the supplier of their 4G mobile network. Ericsson won the race in close competition to the chinese Huawei. TDC's 4G network will be running compatibility with the older already existing 2G & 3G networks.
According to a press release from TDC, 1/3 of all of Denmark's population will be covered by the 4G network from day one.

The theoretical speed of the network is 1Gbit/s as compared to 3G's 200kbit/s (with several later improvements with peaking speeds around 14.7Mbit/s) Another advantage with the technology is that the system will use existing devices on the network as 'repeaters' for their antennas so that the signal coverage could theoretically cover the entire country.
Also, the traditional voice calls will be replaced with pure IP-telephony.

TDC will turn on the new network in January 1st, 2011. The initial coverage will include Copenhagen, Aarhus, Odense, Aalborg, Esbjerg og Kolding.
