"The Sør-Trøndelag project is a perfect showcase for what we're capable of as a company and also a demonstration of what's achievable with our fibre backed super-fast fixed wireless technology.
"This network has been designed and built quickly with no disruption to the area's roads or the end user's driveways for a fraction of the cost of what it would have cost to dig and lay fibre; however, the end user experience and service is as good or better than fibre to the home,” said Jan-Tore Dannemark, chief executive of Breiband.
"Sør-Trøndelag is a very remote area and it’s fantastic that these homes and businesses have now got a high standard, future proofed broadband solution," he added.
