5G in Norway: Carriers & Coverage
The rapid rollout means Telia is delivering nationwide 5G coverage in Norway before any other operator, and opens up new use
The new 5G network will provide better mobile coverage and gradually better access to broadband across the country, which will reduce the vulnerability of an increasingly digitised society,” said Linda Hofstad Helleland. In March 2020, Telenor became the first Norwegian mobile operator to offer 5G connectivity to customers.
This summer, Telia partnered with rescue services in Norway to test a battery-powered, satellite-connected 5G/4G base station that can be flown by drone, allowing quick restoration of mobile coverage after natural disasters or extreme weather. Ericsson is Telia's technology partner for the Norwegian 5G rollout.
At the time of writing, Telenor, Telia and Ice support 5G in Norway. However, all operators are still in the early stages of a nationwide rollout, so coverage will vary.
No one company owns 5G. It is planned and managed by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), a consortium of companies and organisations including infrastructure suppliers, device manufacturers, mobile network operators and vertical service providers.
