Telecom operators Tele2 and Telenor have, through the jointly owned network company Net4Mobility, signed framework agreements with the Swedish Civil Defence Authority for a mobile network for Sweden’s new emergency communications network SWEN, which will replace Rakel. Telia has also signed an agreement with the authority.
SWEN will give, among others, the police, emergency services, healthcare and the Swedish Armed Forces access to 5G and the ability to share video and data in real time. By 2030 at the latest, all users are to have switched to the new network.
The government has allocated SEK 2.3 billion for its establishment during the 2025–2027 period.
