Broadband! Why on Holmön?

See the film clip! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EX_x7GIxgBk&sns=em (in Swe)

Broadband is desired infrastructure and important for Holmöns development. Although 4G works somewhat it is not always stable and overloaded during summer.
  • Broadband raises the value of the property.

  • No requirements to connect to internet.

  • Facilitates private enterprise.

  • Will encourage more to take the step and move permanently to Holmön when more can work from home.
Contact Petter.lamas@gmail.com or Umeå energi if you have questions.
