Gironet Municipal broadband network

Backbone network

Why Gironet?

Growthrate for fiber optics in Kiruna 2014

Reasons for a municipal build: If we want a ”smart city” for all, we have to take control and build a municipal broadband network, and also make sure that it’s an open access network. With our model we also make sure that services provided by the municipality can be performed with higher efficiency, leading to lower costs as well as better quality.

We are moving the city

Teknik och miljö med människan i centrum

Change of mindset

• IT is not a bunch of computer reapairmen who dwell somewere in the basement of city hall. IT is everywhere and needs sufficient attention if we want to benefit from it.

• The city transformation gives us a ”once in several lifetimes” opportunity to create a new city, prepared for the world of tomorrow.

• To maximize outcome, it’s essential that we work in partnership with businesses from different fields, setting the standard for a ”living lab”, with mutual benefit as the doubtless goal.

Thank you for your kind attention!
