Tusass

Tusass (formerly Tele-Post) is a Greenlandic postal and telecommunications company dating back to 1879. Tusass has a licensed monopoly on most telecommunications services in Greenland. The company's headquarters are located in Nuuk.

The company is divided into three business areas: postal (mail), commercial and IT services. Tusass manages the top-level domain for Greenland .gl, and owns the sea cable Greenland Connect.

TELE Greenland A/S was created in 1997 through the merging of TELE Greenland and Kalaallit Allakkeriviat (Greenland Postal Service). After the merger, Kalaallit Allakkeriviat became a business unit and was renamed as POST Greenland. The common designation "TELE-POST" for both business came into being. TELE-POST was rebranded as Tusass in 2021. Tusass is Greenlandic slang for "talk to you later".

GSM (2G) services were launched in 1998 in Nuuk, Ilulissat, Kangerlussuaq and Sisimiut, later expanding across Greenland.

In 2009, TELE Greenland partnered with Nokia Siemens Networks to build a complete 3G network.

TELE Greenland announced in July 2013 a partnership with Nokia Siemens Networks to build a 4G network in Nuuk. The service launched 1 December 2013. Sisimiut was the second town to get 4G, it was launched on 28 March 2014. Later in 2014 the 4G network launched in Ilulissat, Kangerlussuaq and Qaqortoq. The 4G network was expanded to Maniitsoq in February 2015, and to Aasiaat in June the same year.

In November 2017 TELE-POST announced a partnership with Ericsson to modernise the entire mobile network in Greenland, as part of Tele Greenland's "Mobile First" strategy of bringing 4G high-speed internet to every city, town and settlement in Greenland.

In December 2019 it was announced that Tusass had chosen Ericsson to build a 5G network in Greenland. 5G services for mobile phones have yet to be launched, but are expected to eventually launch. Tusass launched VoLTE service in February 2025, and announced a future switch-off of their 2G and 3G services. It was later announced that 3G services would seize on 1 April 2026, and 2G being available until 2027.
