News Summary:
On September 10, 2026, Telia Finland, in collaboration with Finnish energy company Helen, expanded its use of waste heat from its Pitäjänmäki data center, feeding recovered heat into Helsinki’s district heating network. This initiative provides warmth for homes, offices, and domestic water for up to 28,000 apartments, recovering as much as 90% of the data center's waste heat. Previously, on September 5, Insta partnered with Telia to offer a service protecting classified information, supporting public authorities, defense organizations, and critical infrastructure operators in Finland and other NATO member countries. Earlier, on August 31, Telia Finland introduced two-stage authentication for mobile authentication certificate (mobiilivarmenne) activation. This new requirement mandates an additional form of identification, such as a passport or ID card, alongside bank credentials to strengthen security against criminal misuse, which Head of fraud prevention Anttti Turunen noted is often linked to eSIM subscriptions. On August 27, Telia and Patria, along with partners, demonstrated the remote operation of a Patria AMV armored vehicle at Finland's Parola military testing area from Tokyo, a distance of 7,800 km.
