Sweden has a well-developed mobile network infrastructure. Historically, the country's mobile telephony began with the introduction of 3G services. Tele2, one of the key players, was instrumental in expanding network capacity to undertakings that did not have their own networks, ensuring fair access to mobile services. This development marked a significant milestone in Sweden's mobile network history, paving the way for further advancements in telecommunications.

In recent years, Sweden has focused on ensuring the resilience of its 5G networks. The country has mandated regulatory requirements for all 5G operators to not solely rely on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) for synchronization, due to concerns about disruptions and outages caused by jamming and spoofing. This initiative aims to guarantee reliable synchronization independent of foreign sources, enhancing national resilience in the face of geopolitical challenges.
