The Province of Drenthe in the Netherlands has adopted Agnet MCX to support its road maintenance and traffic incident management operations.

The Dutch regional authority manages provincial roads across the region. To replace standard mobile communications that lacked efficient group coordination, the organisation deployed the end-to-end critical communication service based on the Agnet platform alongside RugGear® RG880i smart devices to its operational team. The setup integrates features including group communications and the use of remote speaker microphones in challenging outdoor conditions.

The rollout followed a trial phase that began in November 2025, testing the system's performance during winter and in remote locations. The new technology enables real-time team coordination during road obstructions and incidents, helping to address safety concerns for field staff.

The project was delivered in partnership with Vodafone Business, whose network practically covers the entire Netherlands including tunnels, alongside local first-line service desk support. Rollout and project sign-off were completed in July 2026.
