Motorola Solutions completes Nødnett, Norway’s advanced
mission-critical communications network
- Nationwide coverage encompasses 330
emergency call centers connected by 2,170 base stations and more
than 20,000 kilometers of transmission lines
- Installations overcame icebound Arctic
locations at -40°C in the winter darkness
- Network includes 758 kilometers of road
tunnels
Motorola Solutions (NYSE: MSI) announces formal,
on-schedule completion of Nødnett, Norway’s new nationwide digital
Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) communications system for public
safety and rescue users. This achievement was commemorated with an
event attended by His Majesty King Harald V of Norway and Minister
of Justice and Public Security Anders Anundsen.
Nødnett is the most advanced mission-critical communications
system in the world and one of the largest contracts in Motorola
Solutions’ history. The network’s size, complexity, innovative
technology and the extremes of Norway’s geography and climate made
installation a challenge.
“From coastal fjords to the mountains, and from urban centers to
the remote Polar North, the task of providing nationwide secure and
resilient communications across Norway’s complex and challenging
landscape has been expertly managed by prime contractor Motorola
Solutions,” said Tor Helge Lyngstøl, director general, Directorate
for Emergency Communication (DNK), Norway.
The nationwide coverage encompasses 330 emergency call centers
connected by 2,170 base stations. More than 45,000 users from the
police, fire and health agencies, plus voluntary rescue
organizations, customs and more are making nearly 1.5 million calls
each month over the Nødnett network.
To complete Nødnett, Motorola Solutions installed more than
20,000 kilometers of microwave transmission lines – more than
enough to run from Oslo to Mexico City and back again. Norway's
high latitude means the northern sites are shrouded in
darkness 24/7 during the winter months with temperatures plunging
to a chilling -40°C. With the network reaching far north into the
Arctic Ocean to Svalbard, installation teams often climbed 50
meters up entombed radio towers to remove by hand stunningly
beautiful, but problematic ice.
The network coverage also extends through 310 road tunnels for
758 kilometers, about eight hours of solid driving without ever
seeing the light of day. The tunnels include the Laerdal tunnel,
the longest road tunnel in the world, and the world’s deepest
sub-sea tunnels, the Eiksund and Bumlafjord tunnels.
In all, Motorola Solutions teams drove 817,000 kilometers
conducting radio coverage testing, the equivalent of 20 times
around the equator. Nearly 14,000 kilometers were traveled by
helicopter to test air-to-ground-to-air coverage.
The completion of Nødnett is just the start for Motorola
Solutions. The company will maintain and provide operational
support for the next 10 years, strengthening the network and
providing further functional capabilities. One-third of all Nødnett
base stations are already equipped with TETRA Enhanced Data
Services (TEDS) and Motorola Solutions has provisioned WAVE™ Work
Group Communications to deliver enhanced connectivity,
interoperability and collaboration for Nødnett by offering
radio-like ‘push-to-talk’ (PTT) on smartphones and connected
devices. The network is also ready for public safety broadband
bearers, such as long-term evolution (LTE).
“This reliable, nationwide, end-to-end encrypted TETRA network
now replaces hundreds of aging regional public safety systems.
Despite operating in some of the most remote parts of Europe, the
police, fire, paramedic and health agencies have access to clear,
secure and immediate data and voice calls so that they can
communicate together and save lives,” said Manuel Torres, senior
vice president and general manager Europe, Africa and Latin
America, Motorola Solutions.
