The priority subscription has now been upgraded to also work on 4G and 5G.
People who depend on mobile phones to perform tasks of particular importance to society can now get priority subscriptions that also work in the 4G and 5G networks.
"It is crucial that people who perform important tasks in society can communicate in crisis situations. The Government has facilitated the availability of priority subscriptions for new technology, and it is gratifying that this is now in place. This will be of great importance for our joint preparedness, says Minister of Digitalisation and Public Administration Karianne Tung.
The priority subscription allows the user to get through on the phone if there is a heavy load in the mobile networks. The service also provides full national roaming against other mobile networks in the event of coverage outages in its own mobile network.
"Mobile development is in full swing, and last year alone, NOK 4.8 billion was invested to expand the mobile networks. In just a few years, everyone in Norway will have 5G coverage where they live, and it is therefore gratifying that the priority subscriptions have now been updated so that they also work on new technology, says Pål Wien Espen, Director of Nkom.
All those who have priority subscriptions already will automatically get the new service. The scheme is regulated by the Regulations on priority in mobile networks and covers all mobile providers offering business subscriptions.
