About us


Since 1959, we have delivered software and solutions for decision-makers that protect people, assets, and institutions.

From encryption technology during the Cold War to today's modern systems for security and situational awareness. Our mission has always been clear: We create technology that provides visibility, control and security in critical situations.


We develop software that delivers precise information when it's needed the most – solutions that can be the difference between life and death, security and chaos. Our strength lies in our ability to make complex technology user-friendly. We combine deep technical knowledge with a thorough understanding of operational needs to create tools that actually make a difference in the field.

The start of a unique history

Teleplan was founded as a telecommunications consultancy by Colonel Bjørn Arnold Rørholt, who later joined forces with Major Jørgen Longem and Colonel Rolf Palmstrøm. The company’s journey began with an invention: an electronic encryption device that became a NATO standard in the 1960s.

Our customers

We are a strategic partner to the Norwegian Armed Forces and serve defence forces, police, and emergency services across NATO. Some of our customer relationships span decades – built on close collaboration with the people who actually use our systems. We believe the best technology works so seamlessly that users can focus on the mission, not the tools.
