During the spring and summer of 2021, multiple new gateways have been installed. To provide better coverage of the southern part of Tromsø, a new gateway was installed at Tromsø Museum. To improve coverage on the northern part of Tromsøya, a new gateway was installed in Ørndalen. The first gateway installed in Tromsø was also moved to a new and better location, providing coverag the the eastern part of Tromsøya, along with some parts of Kvaløya.

A gateway was also installed in Longyearbyen, Svalbard to provide coverage in and around the centre of Longyearbyen.

In Alta, a gateway was placed at the university campus to provide coverage for the centre of Alta and the surrounding mountain areas. A weatherstation was placed at the Haldde summit 15km away, utilizing this new gateway.
