Danes, Swedes and Norwegians do not use the D-network, UMTS or LTE and the corresponding dead spots at sea to access the Internet, but instead have their own network called NET1 and almost nationwide coverage. Until now, it has been difficult for non-Scandinavians to gain access to such a network, partly due to the lack of a personal number, which is mandatory in the North. Nordwest-Funk from Emden now offers a solution: access to the network for customers from the rest of Europe and also the appropriate hardware.
The NET1 works with frequencies at 470 MHz and therefore requires a different antenna than is usual for mobile phones. For best coverage, this is located in the mast, and because it quickly gets crowded there, RR-Elektronik has designed a combination antenna. The Alpha 1C receives DVB-T and optionally NET1, WLAN or UMTS. Unfortunately, this all-rounder is not cheap, costing 832 euros.
A router that works throughout Scandinavia is also required for operation on board. Frequent users who are located in the border region, for example, can also purchase the router. Tariffs: DKR 229 per month with 7 GB data included, up to 9.3 MBits/s; DKR 299 per month with 20 GB data included, up to 9.3 MBits/s or DKR 39 per day, 1 GB included, up to 3.1 MBits/s.
