The aim of the project is to build local networks in sparsely populated parts of Övertorneå municipality where market conditions for broadband infrastructure are lacking. The project will give the municipality the opportunity to build four local networks along prioritised routes during the project period. The overall goal of the project is to increase the number of small and medium-sized companies to be able to access broadband connection of at least 100 Mbit/s. After the end of the project, Övertorneå municipality will own and be responsible for investments in the broadband network. In addition, more companies and households in sparsely populated areas in Övertorneå will be given the opportunity to connect to a faster broadband network that is ultimately necessary for sustainable regional growth.
