TeliaSonera signs Nordic agreement with Stora Enso


STOCKHOLM, Sweden, June 7, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Over the next few years TeliaSonera will be entrusted with taking care of Stora Enso's telecommunications in Sweden and Finland. The agreement signed with Stora Enso runs up to five years and covers fixed and mobile telephony, network solutions, PBX solutions and service.

The PBX platform in Sweden is prepared for Voice Over IP (VOIP) and is supplemented with the Office Extension service for approximately 1,400 users. Office Extension enables a ``one phone concept" allowing Stora Enso's employees to use their mobile phones for both fixed and mobile telephony. In conjunction with the installation of the fixed mobile convergence solution, Stora Enso Sweden with also get a brand-new and unified numbering plan for its units located throughout the country. In addition to fixed and mobile telephony in Finland and Sweden, the agreement also covers a network group solution in Sweden, as well as a VOIP network solution in Finland. In this solution, the voice traffic of Stora Enso Finland travels over the data network also provided by TeliaSonera as IP voice. When voice and data travel over the same network, this leads to cost savings in voice traffic and the unified communications solution is also easier to manage.

"With this agreement, Stora Enso has a future-proof solution that will further increase the cost efficiency of its telephony services and consolidate its telecom equipment and functions in both Sweden and Finland," says Dan Stromberg, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Products & Services, with special responsibility for global customers at TeliaSonera.
