Building a global channel ecosystem for the AI era

The enterprise networking landscape is evolving quickly. As organizations invest in AI, cloud and data-intensive applications, they need trusted partners that can help them navigate growing complexity while maintaining performance, resilience and scale. From my perspective, that creates a significant opportunity for channel partners that can combine expertise, reach and a strong customer experience. At […]

Connectivity is now an AI performance issue

Most enterprises already see the signs. AI is moving into core workflows, demands are increasing and systems need to respond in real time. What is becoming clearer is that performance no longer depends only on models, data or compute. It depends just as much on how reliably everything is connected. When connectivity fails, the impact […]

Don’t forget to switch on roaming

We’ve all been there. The plane touches down, the “Welcome to [Country]” text arrives, and the first thing you do is frantically toggle off data roaming or even roaming altogether. You spend the rest of your trip hunting for hotel Wi Fi or juggling a third party travel eSIM app just to save a bit of money, enticed by the aggressive advertising of travel eSIM providers.

The Nordic blueprint for Europe’s AI infrastructure

The race to lead the world in artificial intelligence is no longer theoretical. It is happening now – and Europe is falling behind. While the United States mobilizes hyperscale cloud capability and China coordinates national ambition at industrial scale, Europe spreads its effort across 27 member states, each pursuing a smaller, separate strategy. Yet in […]

How backbone networks support AI infrastructure

AI workloads are rapidly reshaping infrastructure demands and design. Currently, AI model training is mostly concentrated in centralized campuses with access to affordable power, typically with less proximity to network infrastructure. Simultaneously, these workloads are driving data center interconnection traffic, particularly as distributed architectures become more common and latency requirements tighten.

Why this blog still matters ahead of International Women’s Day 2026

This blog shouldn’t be necessary. Gender equality should be a given – in telecoms and in every other sector. But the reality is that women remain underrepresented in STEM and in technical leadership roles across our industry. This blog celebrate the women who power Arelion, but also acknowledge the work still ahead of us.

Why data protection redefines enterprise networking

In today’s volatile digital landscape, data protection now sits firmly at the center of the enterprise risk agenda. Across industries, regions, and business models, organizations are grappling with rising complexity, accelerating technological change, intensifying geopolitical pressures, and an expanding network ecosystem that is increasingly difficult to govern.

A connectivity milestone: 200 Tb/s

At the edge of our backbone, traffic recently reached 200 Tb/s. It took 30 years (from 1993 to 2023) to reach 100 Tb/s of traffic, but only another two and a half years to reach 200 Tb/s today. This exponential growth proves that the public Internet remains the backbone of the global economy.

Connectivity case study: When the unthinkable happens

Our teams were put to the test this past summer when a critical fiber connection between two major cities required immediate replacement. Let’s take a behind-the-scenes look at how our experts protected the connectivity our wholesale, cloud and enterprise customers depend on to keep their operations online, no matter the circumstances.

Extending our AI superhighway into the Nordics and Baltics

After explosive data center expansion in the US, the AI-driven data center boom seems to finally be taking off in Europe. But not all markets are born equal. Many factors are converging to position the Nordics as an AI data center hub.

2026 predictions: From data sovereignty to quantum security

AI has transformed the technology ecosystem over the past year, pushing networks to become faster, more agile and more scalable to support these workloads. In parallel, many operators are working to integrate AI into their own operations, from predictive maintenance to customer service chatbots, to keep pace with the escalating scale of modern infrastructure.

Breaking records together: NPS 79

I’m excited to share Arelion’s Net Promoter Score (NPS) for 2025 which came in at 79 – the highest in our history. That’s not just a number, but a reflection of the trust and partnership we’ve built with our customers over the years.
