Ascom has secured one of two major framework agreements with Helse Sør-Øst (HSØ), Norway’s largest regional health authority, as part of a long-term programme to modernise hospital infrastructure across the region.
The seven-year framework agreement has an estimated value of CHF 80 million and covers upgrades to existing hospitals as well as new healthcare construction projects. The initiative is expected to support patient safety, faster clinical response times and more efficient hospital operations.
Under the agreement, Ascom will provide standardised clinical communication and safety solutions, including nurse call, critical alarm and personal safety systems. The technologies are designed to integrate with existing clinical and technical infrastructure while helping healthcare teams respond more efficiently to patient and staff needs.

“This agreement reflects a clear market trend towards standardized platforms and selecting reliable partners with long-term delivery strengths. Ascom is well-positioned to support this change and expand our footprint in the Norwegian healthcare sector. Our partnership with HSØ and the project award for ARH underscores the trust placed in Ascom and the customer advantage of an integrated approach to clinical communication and safety solutions,” said David Hale, CEO of Ascom.
HSØ employs more than 85,000 people across 30 hospitals and 70 locations, serving approximately 57% of Norway’s population. The agreement also creates opportunities for Ascom to expand its installed technology base and generate recurring revenue through software, services, maintenance and upgrades.
In 2026, the company also secured tenders for the new Aker Hospital and Rikshospitalet in Oslo, supplying patient signalling and staff safety solutions. Project implementation began in the second quarter of the year. The latest framework agreement strengthens Ascom’s long-standing relationship with HSØ and positions the company to participate in future hospital modernisation projects through additional tenders.
