Interference affecting mobile communications and satellite navigation services continues in Finland
In spring 2026, interference affecting satellite navigation (GNSS) and mobile networks, as well as related observations recorded by Traficom, have increased. GNSS interference is observed particularly in aviation around the clock in southern and central Finland. Disruptions to mobile communications have a localised impact in south-eastern Finland near the eastern border, and disturbances may also occur during the daytime. Traficom has submitted new interference reports concerning GNSS and mobile networks to Russia.

The increases will apply, for example, to consumer service fees and supervision fees charged to organisations. Fee increases will mainly range from approximately 10 to 20 per cent. Prices will increase in the areas of aviation, maritime, road and rail transport, as well as for domain name and frequency fees.
