Svalbard

A sneak peek into the future..

Welcome to our testbed for Public Protection and Disaster Relief - your playground to test next-generation secure and autonomous network solutions.

Did you know that Svalbard is one of the northernmost places in the world with 5G coverage? With challenging geography, avalanches and demanding climate, there are high requirements on technology in this location. But hey, if it works here - it should work anywhere!

This location demonstrates how cutting-edge network technologies can transform your operations, offering unparalleled control, reliability, and intelligent automation.

We are putting our construction hats (and winter coats) on to create this experimentation facility - stay tuned!
