What Teleplan does

Teleplan is a privately held Norwegian group of companies, founded in 1959 and owned in its third generation by the Longem family, headquartered at Fornebuveien 35, Lysaker, Norway. The group is structured as a holding platform (Teleplan Holding) overseeing four operating subsidiaries: Teleplan Globe, which develops and delivers solutions to Norwegian and international customers in the defense, homeland security, law enforcement, and telecom sectors; Teleplan Forsberg, which addresses positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) challenges through off-the-shelf products and bespoke customization; Teleplan Consulting, which acts as an independent project manager and advisor on digitalization and IT projects from needs analysis to benefit realization; and Teleplan Eiendom, which manages and develops the group's internal real estate portfolio, including the Teleplanbyen business hub.

The company's technical heritage originates with an electronic encryption device invented at founding that became a NATO standard in the 1960s, and over six decades Teleplan has built a portfolio of software and decision-support solutions protecting people, assets, and institutions, with competence and solutions exported to more than 40 countries. Its competitive posture is anchored by long-standing defense and government relationships, NATO-standard credentials, and a flat, agile, family-led organization with a long-term investment horizon.

The group's revenue mechanics span product/engineering sales (Globe, Forsberg), professional services (Consulting), and real estate income (Eiendom); pricing is not publicly disclosed. The group also holds minority strategic investments in early-stage ventures — Eiendomsverdi, OneVoice, Resight, and Triangula — and in 2021 acquired and renovated a property on Norway's southern coast into Nettas Hus, an employee retreat facility, reflecting a broader emphasis on long-horizon value creation beyond core operating subsidiaries.
