Eltel's communication business announces the renewal of two major frame agreements in Finland
The renewed frame agreements are based on a geographical model where Eltel’s communication business will be the provider of construction, installation and maintenance services for mobile and fixed networks in awarded regions in Finland. These agreements will provide employment for approximately 200 people during the two year contract period. In the mobile communication business the frame agreement covers the period starting from January 2016 until the end of December 2017 and the fixed communication agreement is valid from April 2016 until the end of March 2018.
