Install signs major deal with telecoms giant IP-Only

The large-scale broadband provider IP-Only has chosen the installation company Install from Norrland as the contractor for the assignment to build a local interconnection network in Jämtland.

IP-Only, which was named Sweden's best open network in 2017, has invested SEK 13 billion in broadband expansion in Sweden and will invest billions more in the future. Almost SEK 800 million of this will have been invested in Jämtland. The Swedish Post and Telecom Authority's new report on broadband rollout showed that IP-Only is investing the most of all players in fibre rollout, and the only one to increase investment.

Sebastian Hellström, Operations Manager at Install Fiber, says: "We have worked with IP-Only before and it has worked really well. Among other things, we carried out an extensive broadband expansion in Norrbotten together, so this assignment suits us perfectly.

Turnkey contract

The assignment is run as a turnkey contract, which means that Install is responsible for everything from design, permit management, implementation and final documentation before handing over the finished solution to the customer. It is an extensive assignment as the planned shaft alone amounts to more than eleven miles.

Jan Fransson, CEO of Install continues: "We are very pleased with the continued confidence that IP-Only gives us as we know that they place high demands on their suppliers. We will implement
the turnkey project together with some of our skilled partners and, of course, with the commitment that characterises our business.

- We have continuously increased the fibre rollout in Jämtland and the rest of Sweden and in this work partners are important, of which Install is one. We look forward to working with them
be able to offer fibre connections to as many people as possible, which is particularly important in these days of increased home working," says Mats Nilsson, Regional Manager North at IP-Only.

The project, which will start in August and run until the end of the year, is worth just over SEK 40 million.
