TELE Greenland, now rebranded as Tusass, is the sole telecommunications provider in Greenland. It offers a range of mobile services, including GSM 900/1800 networks and 4G LTE coverage in major cities. The company provides switched telephone and data services, land mobile communications, and VHF and MF shore-to-ship communication. Despite being a monopoly, TELE Greenland has invested in modernizing its infrastructure, including the deployment of a 5G network in collaboration with Ericsson, initially covering three towns and set to expand to more areas including the capital Nuuk.
The mobile network covers nearly all inhabited areas in Greenland, with some remote settlements still lacking coverage. As of 2019, there were 66,009 active mobile telephony subscriptions in use. The company has also announced plans to shut down its 3G services in 2023 due to the unavailability of spare parts and support services.
