Stockholm went live in 2026 in STO1 in Kista, the suburb that has been Sweden's telecom valley since Ericsson planted the flag there in the 1970s. We lit Netnod, our first Swedish exchange, signed Arelion and Telia, and the first ping to Helsinki came back at 3 ms — a number that flatters the Baltic in winter and summer alike.
The site carries 0.28 Tbit/s of edge capacity at a 3 ms local median, with 10 ms to Warsaw and 14 to Frankfurt. It is the Nordics' cleanest exchange, and it exists so users in Sweden, Norway and the Baltic states can get a domestic rack instead of an Amsterdam round trip — at the same €1.90 the Dutch pay.
