Finland Goes Live: Inside the NEW Scandinavian HVAs

On July 1, onocoy activates NEW High Value Areas in Finland. Three zones, two reward phases, and a launch window that rewards operators who move fast.

When we said in February that we were scaling the map, we meant it. The Scandinavia push started with a staged country rollout, beginning with Norway and moving through Denmark, Sweden, and Finland over the spring. Five months later, demand from enterprise clients in the region has not slowed down, and Finland is now ready for boosted rewards.

Three zones go live on Tuesday, July 1st 2026. Each one rewards new reference stations with multipliers that reflect how badly we need coverage in that specific geography.

How the Zones Are Set Up

The zones map directly to coverage gaps. Where the network is thinnest and client demand is highest, the multipliers are largest.

→ Red Zones · Northern Finland · Lapland: +900% for the first 4 months, then +200% for the next 8.
→ Green Zones · Central-Eastern Finland · Kuopio area: +900% for the first 2 months, then +200% for the next 10.
→ Blue Zones · Southwest Finland · Tampere · Turku · Helsinki: +300% for the first 2 months, then +100% for the next 10.

Lapland gets the longest hot phase because that is where the gap is largest. The Kuopio area also hits +900%, but the window is shorter at two months. The southwest corridor sees lower multipliers, since there is already meaningful coverage in the Helsinki, Tampere, and Turku triangle, but the boost still applies and operators in those cities still benefit.

Two Phases, One Long Window

Every zone runs in two phases. Phase 1 is the hot phase, with the peak multiplier on a time limit. Phase 2 is a smaller multiplier that continues for the rest of the station's first year of operation.

The two-phase structure is deliberate. Early movers should be rewarded for closing the coverage gap fast, but they should not face a cliff drop the moment Phase 1 ends. The ongoing boost keeps the economics attractive while the network finds equilibrium.

Operators who deploy on July 1 lock in the full hot phase. Operators who deploy in month three of a four-month hot phase lock in what is left of it, then continue under Phase 2. The timing window is real.

What This Means for Station Economics

A station deployed in a Red Zone on launch day earns +900% over baseline for four months, then +200% for the eight months that follow. Twelve months of boosted rewards from one timely deployment.

Even Blue Zones with the smaller multipliers see +300% for the first two months and +100% across the rest of the year. For an operator already considering a deployment in Tampere, Turku, or Helsinki, this is the window to act.

The baseline $ONO rewards for GNSS data contribution still apply on top of the multipliers. So does the loopback feature, which delivers free, quality-assured RTK corrections back to your own devices, and the continuous quality monitoring on every contributed station.

Free Hardware for Select Locations

A small number of strategic locations may also qualify for free hardware. Eligibility depends on the specific site and the gap it would fill. If you operate, or know someone who operates, on a roof or mast in a priority area inside one of the three zones, the team wants to hear from you.

This is not a blanket subsidy. We see this as a targeted move to unlock specific high-value sites that would otherwise stay empty. Get in touch with the actual location, and we will tell you within a few days whether the site qualifies.

The Open Window

July 1 is the start. The shortest hot phase, in Green and Blue Zones, closes in early September. The Red Zone hot phase runs through October. After that, Phase 2 multipliers continue but the peak boost is gone.

Finland is the first market where we activate the new two-phase reward structure. The next markets in Scandinavia and beyond will follow the same pattern, adjusted for local coverage realities. We chose Finland first because the demand-supply gap there is acute and the deployment conditions are practical.

If you are in Finland, this is your window. If you know operators in Finland, this is the moment to forward this post.
