Global hygiene and paper company SCA utilizes CDMA 450MHz coverage across its forest-based operations to meet sustainability and environmental targets, setting an excellent example.

With the explosive growth of mobile broadband and machine-to-machine (M2M) connectivity, you’d be forgiven for thinking the technology has yet to reach areas where even mobile voice communication is extremely difficult. But you’d be wrong. Deep in the heart of the densest Swedish forests, CDMA 450MHz technology is transforming the business of SCA – the country’s largest private forestry owner, hygiene and paper company – through M2M connectivity.

Scandinavian operator Net 1 proves that size doesn’t matter. With a CDMA 450MHz network, the small provider facilitates secure machine-to-machine communication across some of the most inhospitable areas of northern Europe.
