The Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency bought a 5G core network from telecoms giant Ericsson to develop the emergency communications network Rakel G2, the firm announced on Tuesday.
The financial details of the transaction are not yet known.
Rakel G2 is a critical communications network for Sweden's public safety and emergency services including national defence purposes.
The implementation of the new core network will start in 2024.
According to Ericsson, the communications network will help police, fire brigades, emergency medical services and military organizations collaborate effectively during crises and emergencies, enhanced by secure and fast means of sharing voice, data, images, and video.
The core 5G network initially will complement the existing national radio communications system Rakel, which supports more than 650 organizations spanning a range of authorities.
