Vast worldwide experience

Swedtel probably has the broadest experience of any telecom consulting company. The Telia management expertise that later became the nucleus of Swedtel, started out in the 1950s on a project in Ethiopia.

Since the formal founding of the company in 1968, Swedtel has performed some 500 projects in more than 100 countries such as; Ireland, Poland, Lithuania, Nigeria, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Ecuador, Colombia and Brazil.

The start-up and corporate development of operators has been our focus and we have refined our skills in close cooperation with large and small, existing and new telecom operators, across all technical platforms; fixed, mobile and IP.

Swedish roots

Sweden shares the top spot in telephone density with the USA. Likewise in mobile telephony and Internet service provision, Scandinavia ranks high in the development of new services due to a very early commercial launch of services and an exponential penetration growth rate. Moreover, Sweden is the leading IT nation according to IDC, Forrester Research, and in an OECD report based on the criteria of high penetration of PCs, Internet, mobile phones, fast broadband growth, acceptance of new technology and services and well-developed competition.

In 1993 the first telecom act ever came into force in Sweden to regulate the liberalized telecoms market. The experience we have gained through the deregulation of the Swedish telecoms market and operating in an open, fiercely competitive market has proven useful in many parts of the world.

Swedtel possesses operator skills and experience from the operation and management of Telia, Northern Europe’s leading telecom operator (fixed, mobile and Internet).

Before its formal inception as a company Swedtel was a group of employees within Telia. As business grew Swedtel became a Telia subsidiary, channeling our knowledge to operators worldwide. Swedtel thus became the first operator-owned consulting company. When we were founded, for the purpose of sharing Swedish telecom know-how, Telia was one of the few major sources of telecom knowledge. Today, this expertise has spread to a variety of Swedish companies and organizations. Swedtel has adapted to this change by developing an extensive partner network and a wider ownership structure. More than ever, Swedtel is the flag carrier of Swedish telecom know-how.
