From 2 to 4 June 2026, Clarion Hotel Air, Sola, Stavanger will host Beredskapskonferansen, Norway’s most important arena for emergency preparedness, societal security, and cross-sector collaboration. Now in its 20th year, the conference brings together government, industry, defence, and emergency services for two days of high-level exchange on national resilience and the evolving security landscape. This year’s edition carries particular significance, taking place midway through Norway’s Total Defence Year 2026, a national initiative to mobilise society and the business community around real, actionable preparedness.
Security Policy, Defence, and Industry at the Forefront
Beredskapskonferansen 2026 takes place at a pivotal moment in Norway’s security landscape. National intelligence and security authorities have warned that the country faces its most serious threat environment since the Second World War. In response, the government has allocated an additional NOK 115 billion to its long-term defence plan through 2036, prioritising space-based communications and advanced technologies for crisis operations. Independent satellite connectivity is therefore positioned as a core element of national resilience. For both public and private sectors, preparedness has shifted from contingency planning to operational necessity.
Satellite Connectivity for Critical Situations
IEC Telecom Norway will participate in Beredskapskonferansen 2026 as an exhibitor, presenting a focused portfolio of satellite communication solutions tailored to emergency preparedness, operational continuity, and resilience for both public and private sector organisations.
IEC Telecom’s showcase will feature Starlink GEN3, the latest generation of high-throughput, low-latency LEO broadband, delivering enterprise-grade connectivity when terrestrial infrastructure is compromised. Alongside this, the Starlink Mini with Peplink Antenna MAX S offers a compact, portable solution for field deployments and rapid-response operations, with advanced bonding and failover technology ensuring always-on connectivity in the most demanding conditions. Rounding out the portfolio, IEC Telecom will present a range of satellite phones, rugged, reliable voice communication devices essential for teams operating beyond network coverage.
