Frequentis completes virtual site acceptance test with Norwegian public safety agencies

In the week before Easter, the Nødnett team performed the first “distributed remote” software acceptance test in the project’s history. This software acceptance was especially important because it is to form the baseline for the upcoming midlife upgrade for all police and health service control rooms in Norway in 2020. To cope with the challenging situation, extraordinary solutions were devised. The software test was performed by a virtual team located in five different countries on a test system located in Norway. In addition to the audio communication between the customer and Frequentis test team members, screen sharing was provided in two steps – various web-based platforms were in use throughout the entire test processes. The successful software acceptance was only made possible because of the excellent cooperation of the entire test team and the strong contribution from the customer side. DSB also expressed their satisfaction with this innovative approach and the level of cooperation with Frequentis.

“We are delighted to serve our Norwegian customers with our highly resilient control room solution and services that fully utilise the capabilities of the secure, digital radio network Nødnett for all emergency services in Norway. We have been working together for more than 15 years, supporting agency cross collaboration throughout Norway,” says Frequentis CEO Norbert Haslacher. “Because of the restraints due to the coronavirus, our teams both in Vienna and Norway quickly developed digital alternatives to continue support for Nødnett.
