This article briefly describes the development in Norway of mobile communications, which started with maritime radio communication in 1908 and was later extended to include communication with aircraft and land mobile units. The advances in this field have been enormous and are proceeding towards personal communication. Norway has in many instances been in the forefront within mobile communication. Examples are maritime communication, mobile satellite communication and cellular telephone services. The achievements in mobile communications in Norway, particularly during the last 20 years, are to a large extent due to team-work between the telecommunications operators in the Nordic countries, complemented with discussions with equipment manufacturers. This is also described in the article.
