Our migration solution for #SWEN will enable voice centric transition from #Rakel TETRA to a publicly procured separate #3GPP MCX solution. The 3GPP MCX solution (yet to be procured) will enable new multimedia and data serices, besides voice services, to our user community.

The 6G Radio study is six months in. Where do things stand?   At the February 2026 3GPP meetings in Gothenburg and Goa, working groups across the radio and core network layers reached agreements that will steer the standard going forward.   RAN WG1 agreed on the waveform candidates that will compete to extend uplink coverage at 7 GHz, with evaluation against the 5G baseline starting in April. RAN WG2 is formally studying a modular RRC architecture to address long-standing signaling complexity in 5G. And SA2 received specific proposals for 6G core network design spanning slicing, QoS, AI, computing, and distributed signaling.   The study targets completion by May 2027, placing the work at roughly the quarter-mark. Our latest Standards Readout covers the headline developments from each working group — written to give technical and non-technical readers alike a clear picture of where 6G stands and which decisions will matter most.   Full analysis from DongYeon Kim, Jae-Nam Shim, fasil latheef, and Muhammad Ali Kazmi.

Eutelsat and Tusass A/S, Greenland’s national telecommunications provider, have signed a strategic multi-year agreement to bring Eutelsat’s OneWeb low Earth orbit (LEO) connectivity to Greenland. This expanded partnership will enable the delivery of secure and resilient communications across the country’s vast and remote territory. Tusass will leverage Eutelsat’s OneWeb network, which operates in a polar orbit, to address a wide range of connectivity needs where terrestrial infrastructure is lacking. This deployment reinforces Eutelsat’s role as a trusted enabler of secure, sovereign-grade connectivity solutions in the Arctic and Europe, and it supports Tusass in its strategic objectives for digital inclusion and infrastructure integration across Greenland. “Critical infrastructure has become a key focus area across Europe, and we are delighted to continue our work with Tusass to support its efforts in connecting remote communities, backbone infrastructure, and enabling essential services such as rescue operations and maritime security and safety. Our expanded partnership highlights the growing relevance of LEO for both resiliency and redundancy, and for meeting the evolving sovereign and commercial connectivity needs of remote regions." — Cyril DUJARDIN, President of the Connectivity Business Unit, Eutelsat “Greenland presents one of the world’s most complex connectivity challenges. By partnering with Eutelsat and its OneWeb LEO solution, we are strengthening our ability to meet the needs of our people and institutions— from everyday internet access to robust national communications infrastructure. This agreement reflects our commitment to resilient, future-proof connectivity that serves all society.” — Toke Binzer, Tusass Chief Executive Officer #Eutelsat #Tusass #OneWeb #LEO #Connectivity #Greenland #Arctic #SatelliteCommunications #DigitalInclusion #Partnership

Pivoting to a robust solution in the face of challenge. 🇸🇪 Find out how two municipalities in Sweden continued to deliver national tests digitally when their government-provided platform caused digital delivery of national tests to be cancelled. Having used Inspera Assessment since 2019, both Tibro kommun and Hörby Municipality were able to rapidly change direction and maintain familiarity with digital assessments for their students, avoiding a last-minute switch back to paper.

National authorities are shifting the blueprint for emergency services. The transition from legacy systems to 5G-based networks is no longer a pilot phase: it is a full-scale infrastructure migration. Norway’s Norwegian Communications Authority recently announced a strategic partnership with mobile operators to develop their "Nytt nødnett," while Sweden is making significant strides with its SWEN initiative. Managed by the newly named Swedish Civil Defence and Resilience Agency, SWEN is transitioning from the legacy Rakel system to a 5G hybrid model. By leveraging a state-controlled core with commercial mobile infrastructure, Sweden aims to provide its police, fire, and medical services with high-bandwidth tools like real-time video and drone feeds. It is a global movement. In the US, Firstnet (built with AT&T) has already begun deploying its 5G standalone core to provide priority and preemption for first responders. In the UK, the UK Home Office continues to push the Emergency Services Network (ESN) toward a 4G/5G hybrid model to replace the aging Airwave system. The logic is simple. Public safety needs the same high-speed tools as the private sector, but with a guarantee of service. When a building has an indoor neutral-host 5G system, it does more than just help the tenants. It ensures that when emergency services enter the lift or the basement, their 5G-based mission-critical tools actually work. Dedicated 5G slices mean that even during a major event where the public network is congested, first responders maintain a clear lane. It reinforces a basic truth of modern property management. When the signal drops, the work stops...Whether that work is a Zoom call or a life-saving intervention. https://lnkd.in/exzJWj5h #indoor5G #indoormobileinfrastructure #indoorneutralhost #SWEN #PublicSafety

"Critical Infrastructure Was a Secondary but Important Target. The second group of targets is critical infrastructure, mainly transportation. Two organizations were hit repeatedly: DSB, the national railway operator. Banedanmark, the organization responsible for the railway infrastructure. These two entities were targeted 27 times in total. Denmark’s rail network is a central component of daily life, and disruptions could affect commuters, businesses, and logistics. Because the system is highly interconnected, even short disruptions could have visible consequences nationwide." https://lnkd.in/egCAQk2G
