Stokab in brief
Stokab is owned by the City of Stockholm, and is an independent provider of passive infrastructure in the form of optical fibres, with no active termination equipment, known as dark fibre.
Since the start in 1994, the goal of the company has been to build a competition-neutral infrastructure capable of meeting future communication needs and spurring economic activity, diversity and freedom of choice, as well as minimising disruption to the city's streets.
Stokab furnishes an open and competition-neutral fibre network in order to stimulate the advancement of the Stockholm region.
Dark fibre connection
Stokab provides a dark fibre connection between two requested addresses on the fibre network. Either the customer activates the connection using their own telecom equipment or they purchase capacity from, any of the more than 100 active operators who already exist in the network. The fixed monthly fee for the connection is the same, regardless of the capacity set in the customer's equipment.
The Stokab model
This is often referred to as the Stokab model – leasing only passive fibre infrastructure. There are few, if any other companies in Europe that have this structure.
