Owned by Finnish investment company CapMan’s Infra fund (60 percent) and telecom operator Telia (40 percent), Valokuitunen builds open fibre-optic network that offers customers a wide selection of internet service providers and their offerings.

Goal Achieved Early

According to Valokuitunen, the demand for fibre-optic connections has grown significantly and is continually on the rise. Founded in 2020, Valokuitunen said it has already reached its goal of connecting 200,000 Finnish households by 2025, over two years ahead of schedule.

“We are proud to have achieved our network’s expansion goal within three years. Valokuitunen’s network investments for this year are set to reach nearly 100 million euros. We are unequivocally the leading investor in fixed telecommunications infrastructure in Finland this year,” said the company in a statement.

Fiber Expansion

Valokuitunen said throughout the summer, the company has been collaborating with subcontractors to lay down fibre-optic connections in approximately 30 municipalities. Overall, the network is now accessible in 80 locations across the country.

“Finnish households that opt for open fibre-optic connections no longer need to worry about their telecommunications for decades to come. Fibre-optic is undeniably the best available telecommunication solution, offering speed, reliability, and uninterrupted service. It won’t falter during remote meetings or movie streaming,” emphasized the company.
