DNA coverage and network reach
DNA offers 4G / 5G plans. This page explains whose network DNA uses, how far 4G and 5G reach, which plans include 5G and how to check coverage at your own address.

DNA has its own network in southern and western Finland. In the north and east it uses a network shared with Telia.
In northern and eastern Finland DNA and Telia use a shared network built and run by Suomen Yhteisverkko. The area covers about 62.5% of Finland's land area and about 28.5% of the population, bounded roughly by a line from Raahe to Loviisa. The shared network's 5G upgrade was completed at the end of 2024.
DNA's own 3G network closed between October 2023 and January 2024, the shared network's 3G during 2024.
5G coverage and frequency bands
DNA uses the 700 MHz and 3.5 GHz bands for 5G. The low 700 MHz band carries far and passes through walls, so it brings 5G to rural areas and indoors. The 3.5 GHz band gives the highest speeds in built-up areas. The 26 GHz bands have been auctioned but are not in consumer use.
All DNA 5G base stations were connected to a standalone 5G core in 2021, but there is no separate consumer 5G SA plan.
Recent network changes
- The nationwide 5G upgrade was completed in December 2024, first in Finland: every base station is 5G-capable.
- The 700 MHz band went live on all 5G sites in November 2021, improving indoor coverage.
- In Traficom's October 2025 tests in Posio and Porvoo, DNA calls succeeded at every test point.
How to check coverage at your address
- Open the DNA coverage map and search for your address or town.
- Look at 4G and 5G separately. The map shows calculated outdoor coverage, so the connection indoors may be weaker.
- If you live on the edge of the network, ask neighbours or try the plan: the 14-day distance-selling cancellation right applies to plans ordered online.
- For a cottage or a car, also check the competitors' maps, since the networks differ most in sparsely populated areas.
DNA 5G plans
These DNA plans include 5G. Prices update automatically.

Traficom measures coverage of households and land area at 100 Mbit/s or more. The figures are not directly comparable with the operators' own population coverage, which is calculated as outdoor coverage of residences.

Frequently asked questions about DNA coverage
Is the DNA 5G network available across Finland?
DNA 5G coverage is the same area as 4G, calculated at almost 100% of the population. Coverage means outdoor reach calculated from residences, so in wilderness and indoors 5G is not always available. Check your own address on the coverage map.
Does DNA work at a cottage and in rural areas?
The 4G network covers over 99.6% of Finns, so calls and basic internet work almost everywhere. Speeds drop in sparsely populated areas: in Traficom's measurements the median speed in cities exceeded 200 Mbit/s, while in sparsely populated countryside it stayed under 30 Mbit/s.
Do I need a 5G plan?
Not necessarily. 4G is enough for calls, messaging and video. 5G pays off if you use the plan as home internet, share the connection with several devices or want the lowest latency. 5G is included in plans with 5G in the name (for example 5G 400M, 600M and 1000M). Huoleton Plus Mini and Plus 20M are 4G plans.
Why is coverage worse indoors than the map shows?
The map shows outdoor coverage. Concrete, energy-efficient windows and metal roofs attenuate the signal, especially on 3.5 GHz. The 700 MHz band passes through structures better. If the problem persists, a router near a window or Wi-Fi calling helps.
