The order includes switches, optical components and support services and is worth apx. 8 million SEK (apx. €780,000).

The customer is one of Denmarks largest operators and connect households in several locations in Denmark, including in the Copenhagen area. The fiber network passes 300,000 households and businesses and the company has over 140,000 customers today.
City networks in Swedish regions Blekinge and Skåne have also recently selected Waystreams 10Gbit/s switches. Combined this makes the region of south Sweden and east Denmark one of the most highly penetrated and fastest broadband networks in the world.
