Agrikjøp renews and extends communication agreement with Telenor

(Fornebu, 5 May 2006): The agricultural purchasing organisation Agrikjøp has renewed and extended a framework agreement with Telenor covering the provision of voice communication solutions. The agreement runs for two years and is worth over NOK 100 million a year.

Agrikjøp is the purchasing organisation for Norwegian agricultural co-operatives, with members such as TINE, Gilde, Prior and Felleskjøpene. The agreement means that Telenor will supply services such as fixed telephony, mobile telephony, intelligent network services and mobile data solutions to the member businesses of the agricultural co-operative. Agrikjøp already has a similar framework agreement with Telenor covering broadband telephony, video communication and internal company data networks (IP VPN) and associated security services.
