TH1NG and Valokuitunen have embarked on a unique collaboration, allowing Valokuitunen's customers the opportunity to access TH1NG's IoT services.

Valokuitunen is the leading player in the Finnish fiber market, investing heavily in expanding fiber networks throughout Finland. Valokuitunen sells, builds, and owns fiber networks nationwide while providing an open network to its customers.

In addition to offering broadband and TV services, Valokuitunen is now venturing into the sale of IoT services to property owners in collaboration with TH1NG. Examples of relevant IoT services include individual water metering (IMD), water leakage detection in kitchens and wet areas, connected smoke detectors, and temperature monitoring.

- We are excited about the opportunity to collaborate with Valokuitunen to address the property market in Finland with our IoT services. Finland is an interesting neighboring market, and Valokuitunen's significant sales force creates favorable conditions for increasing our sales, says Klas Westholm, CEO of TH1NG. This aligns with our planned expansion to gain new market shares, concludes Klas Westholm.

Valokuitunen's Commercial Director, Fredrik Relander, sees significant potential in developing services within their open network.

- The collaboration is a great opportunity for us, and I believe there is a real demand for these types of solutions among our customers. I am delighted that we now have the opportunity to offer our customers IoT services. This is the major advantage of the open network solution: the possibilities are limitless!" says Fredrik Relander.
