Several areas in northern Norway lack internet and mobile coverage
The storm has led to several areas in northern Norway lacking internet and mobile coverage. The authorities encourage everyone to think about their own preparedness.
Over 700 customers without power
Mobile phone coverage is gradually disappearing
Mobile coverage is also affected by the storm. Most people will notice it eventually.

There is a real need for an emergency power solution. 8,000 people in the area lost power during the storm today. In addition, the internet does not work in certain areas, and this affects EVERYTHING (at workplaces) in these times.
We've all seen similar headlines in our local newspapers this past week. While such storms are indeed rare, they do occur periodically. It is difficult to predict the exact extent of damage they may cause. This leads us to think about several important questions. In particular, how do municipal and emergency services deal with such situations? It is clear that they are doing an outstanding job and their efforts are to be commended.
Another important issue concerns preparation for similar situations in the future. Can we expand mobile coverage and provide emergency power solutions for homes located far from emergency centers? The options may seem limited at the moment, but they exist. One innovative opportunity comes from Alexander Kolesnik, founder of energy company Wild Volt.
Alexander's personal experience of surviving the destruction of his home and business during Russia's war in Ukraine led him to specialize in the design of emergency and autonomous power systems. Using electric vehicle battery recycling technologies, he has successfully implemented power backup solutions in private homes, critical military infrastructure and healthcare facilities. These systems provide uninterrupted power to critical Internet connection points.
Reflecting on his journey, Alexander highlights the efficiency and reliability of the battery compared to conventional diesel generators. Such a system saved his life during the war, demonstrating its life-saving potential in extreme conditions.
Andre Liv's new initiative, which has begun its second life in Norway, embodies his commitment to sustainability by giving batteries a new life through recycling, thereby contributing to a better environment.
