Norway is one of the first countries in the world with a telecommunications network based 100 per cent on the digital technology of the future. We are very much to the fore with regard to mobile telephone and Internet density. Why is that? Partly because we have developed the telecom- munications in a country that presents major challenges, geographically and meteorologically. Partly because Norwegians actually have tradi- tionally been open to technical and technological innovations. Partly because we are a relatively egalitarian society, where education is justly distributed, and where most people have had a share of the welfare and growth. And partly because Telenor, the entire nation’s company, has been willing to learn from others, and had the ability to look to the future when developing its services. 5 Seksjon0.3-2.qxd 27.05.98 10:33 Side 6 Highlights 1997 The digitalisation programme for the Norwegian telecommunications network was completed by 1 December 1997. It was started in 1966, when the first digital elements were built into the transmission net- work. Digitalisation of the central network and the exchanges started in 1986. The internationalisation programme was continued and escalated, with major investments in mo- bile licences in Germany, Austria, and Greece. The Installation activities were organised in one business area, Telenor Installasjon AS, these were previously organised under Telenor Privat, Telenor Nett, and Telenor Bedrift. This was a success, and ensured a positive contribution to the Group’s result. Prices were rebalanced, with a strong shift toward cost-based prices. All in all, the trend of signifi- cant price reductions continued. The internet commitment was strengthened by the establishing of a new business area, Telenor Nextel AS, which has overall responsibility for its own results and operations. At the end of the year, internet accounted for about 15 per cent of the local traffic over the Norwegian telecommunications network. Telenor’s localisation strategy was determined and there will be principal regional centres and nation- wide presence, in order to ensure that fundamental ser- vices are delivered to everybody. Telenor’s second communications satellite, An agreement was signed regarding the Thor II, was launched from Cape Canaveral In Florida, purchase of land at Fornebu for the building of a future- and placed at the strategic position «one degree west». orientated head office and cost-effective co-location of Simultaneously, satellite number three, Thor III, was or- the activities in the Oslo area.

  • HD Voice – a Revolution in Voice Communication
    HD Voice – a revolution in voice communication Besides data capacity and coverage, which are one of the most important factors related to customers’ satisfaction in mobile telephony nowadays, we must not forget about the intrinsic characteristic of the mobile communication – the Voice. Ever since the nineties and the introduction of GSM there have not been much improvements in the area of voice communication and quality of sound has not seen any major changes. Smart Network going forward! Mobile phones made such a progress in recent years that they have almost replaced PCs, but their basic function, voice calls, is still irreplaceable and vital in mobile communication and it has to be seamless. In order to grow our customer satisfaction and expand our service portfolio, Smart Network engineers of Telenor Serbia have enabled HD Voice by introducing new network features and transitioning voice communication to all IP network. This transition delivers crystal-clear communication between the two parties greatly enhancing customer experience during voice communication over smartphones. Enough with the yelling into smartphones! HD Voice (or High-Definition Voice) represents a significant upgrade to sound quality in mobile communications. Thanks to this feature users experience clarity, smoothly reduced background noise and a feeling that the person they are talking to is standing right next to them or of "being in the same room" with the person on the other end of the phone line. On the more technical side, “HD Voice is essentially wideband audio technology, something that long has been used for conference calling and VoIP apps. Instead of limiting a call frequency to between 300 Hz and 3.4 kHz, a wideband audio call transmits at a range of 50 Hz to 7 kHz, or higher.
