Motorola Solutions (MSI) has been awarded a five-year contract by the Norwegian Directorate for Civil Protection DSB , starting at the beginning of 2027, to continue to manage Norway’s nationwide critical communications network, Nodnett, which is relied upon by over 60,000 first responders every day. The new contract is valued at 1,78B NOK approximately $160M and will run through 2031 with an option for a two-year extension. Nodnett is a critical tool for emergency services and other preparedness organizations,” said Director General Elisabeth Aarsther at DSB. Motorola Solutions has supported Nodnett since 2012 and will continue to deliver operational, lifecycle management and technology upgrade services under the new agreement, providing highly reliable and secure digital radio communications for Norway’s emergency services users, including police, fire and medical services. Nodnett is designed to cover 100% of the population, including the country’s mountainous terrain and hundreds of tunnels, and to interoperate with the TETRA networks in neighboring Sweden and Finland for vital cross-border collaboration between public safety organizations.
