Denmark’s largest LoRaWAN operator is changing the software layer behind its national IoT network — and the bigger story is what that says about where Massive IoT infrastructure is heading.

Cibicom has selected NetmoreGroup’s Operator Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) to operate, optimize and scale its nationwide LoRaWAN network. Cibicom will replace its existing LoRaWAN Network Server with Netmore’s ThingPark Platform, while the companies also plan to strengthen interoperability and roaming across the Nordics.

On paper, it is a platform migration. In practice, it is another step toward consolidating fragmented LoRaWAN networks into larger operating environments.

More than a server swap

Cibicom already has the physical footprint. The Danish infrastructure company operates a national LoRaWAN network alongside broadcast infrastructure, LTE450, data centers and fiber services. Its own materials describe nationwide IoT coverage, backed by 24/7 network operations and the option for customers to add local gateways where additional coverage is needed.

What changes is the management layer underneath it.

ThingPark is designed to run LoRaWAN networks at operator scale, including device and gateway management, high availability and roaming. Cibicom says the migration should help it support applications in utilities, energy management, manufacturing, healthcare and other infrastructure-heavy sectors.

Mette Slesvig, CEO of Cibicom, said:

“Partnering with Netmore allows Cibicom to enhance our nationwide LoRaWAN infrastructure, ensuring we are in a strong position to adapt to evolving requirements and able to support new and emerging applications. With IoT and managed services becoming increasingly important, this partnership enables us to operate a highly efficient IoT network for our data-driven customers and strengthens Denmark’s position in Massive IoT. At Cibicom, we are committed to delivering the best IoT solutions on Denmark’s leading network, and this partnership guarantees just that.”

The timing matters. Netmore acquired Actility in January 2026, bringing ThingPark and Actility’s operator ecosystem into the group. Netmore said the combined footprint included deployments in more than 100 countries and partnerships with more than 50 LoRaWAN operators. By June, it reported 11.2 million active devices and 18.4 million contracted devices.

Cibicom, then, is not simply buying network-server software. It is joining an increasingly consolidated Netmore ecosystem.

The Nordic roaming angle

The more interesting part sits beyond Denmark.

Netmore already works with Finland’s Digita, which selected Netmore’s Operator PaaS in 2024 after the companies had earlier established LoRaWAN roaming. With Cibicom added, Netmore is positioning the result as seamless LoRaWAN coverage across the Nordic region.

That matters for assets that move: trailers, shipping equipment, environmental sensors or logistics fleets. A device becomes considerably more useful if its owner does not need a new connectivity arrangement every time it crosses a border.

Ove Anebygd, CEO of Netmore, said:

“This strategic partnership with Cibicom executes on our vision of enabling operators to deliver carrier-grade nationwide IoT connectivity while eliminating network fragmentation and contributing to unified, high-performance connectivity regionally and worldwide. With Netmore’s ThingPark Platform, Cibicom can focus on innovation and customer value in Denmark, while contributing to broader ecosystem synergies.”

Janne Rannikko, VP, IoT at Digita, said:

“Digita’s nationwide LoRaWAN network in Finland provides a strong foundation for Nordic interoperability as IoT deployments scale across borders. Delivering reliable cross-market connectivity requires carrier-grade infrastructure and operational discipline. This partnership extends that to customers in utilities, logistics, and other critical sectors operating across the Nordic region.”

The promise is not simply more coverage. It is less operational friction between networks.

A wider LoRaWAN shift

Netmore is not alone in carrier-grade LoRaWAN infrastructure. The Things Industries, for example, markets The Things Stack as an enterprise-grade LoRaWAN server designed to manage millions of devices, while enterprises can still deploy private LoRaWAN networks or mix public and private infrastructure.

That flexibility is a LoRaWAN strength, but it also explains the fragmentation Netmore is trying to reduce.

For a factory, campus or highly localized deployment, Nordic roaming may add little value. Private infrastructure can be a better fit where local control matters more than geographic reach. For utilities and logistics groups managing large fleets of long-life devices, however, operational consistency can become as important as radio coverage.

Conclusion

This deal shows LoRaWAN moving from proving the technology to industrializing it.

The market already has sensors, gateways, network servers and capable operators. The harder problem is making those pieces behave like one dependable connectivity layer across markets. Netmore’s Actility acquisition, Digita relationship and now Cibicom partnership all point in that direction.

The competitive question is increasingly who can make LoRaWAN easiest to operate at scale — not simply who can put the most gateways on a map. If Netmore can turn ThingPark and its operator relationships into genuinely simple cross-border connectivity, this deal will matter well beyond Denmark.
