Telenor subsidiary KNL has secured an outline deal with Denmark’s Ministry of Defence to supply its high-frequency (HF) radio equipment, marking its third agreement with a Nordic country.
The deal follows agreements with Sweden and Finland and strengthens KNL’s push to establish its HF communication system across the Nordic region.
Dan Ouchterlony, head of Telenor Corporate Development Portfolio, said the agreements with Sweden and Finland had created a “strong foundation for Nordic cooperation” around KNL’s radio system.
He said Denmark’s addition reflects a “genuine and growing need for secure, independent communication across the region”.
KNL’s HF system operates in the 3MHz to 30MHz range and is designed to support military communications beyond the line of sight while remaining resilient to jamming and other electromagnetic interference.
The technology can provide communication across thousands of kilometres without relying on fixed or satellite connectivity, which KNL says makes it valuable for military, maritime and other critical communications.
The system also uses cognitive radio functionality to dynamically allocate frequencies and improve spectrum use.
KNL chief executive Toni Linden described Denmark’s participation as a “strong endorsement” of the company’s technology.
The company has publicly announced three orders worth about €23.5 million under its existing arrangements with Sweden and Finland.
KNL is also among several companies approved to bid for tactical communications system projects in the UK.
