atNorth , a leading pan-Nordic colocation , computing and Artificial Intelligence service provider , has announced that Proptivity , a marketleading indoor 5G network provider in the Nordics and Baltics , has selected atNorth ’ s state-of-the-art sustainable and future-proofed data centre facility in Kista as its Swedish data centre provider . Proptivity is a supplier of multi-operator networks dedicated to delivering the best possible indoor performance . All operators in the Swedish market are connected to the same network to ensure that mobile users , regardless of their operator , have access to highperformance indoor 5G services – what Proptivity calls Gigabit 5G .
Proptivity offers multi-operator Gigabit 5G networks to real estate owners in Nordics and Baltics . These networks deliver market-leading Gigabit performance in terms of speed , with short latency and very high capacity . The indoor networks are also extremely reliable , with predictable coverage everywhere in the whole building , including places like garages and elevators where connectivity can often drop .

Real estate owners have long faced the problem that while 80 % of mobile traffic is consumed indoors , the majority of mobile base stations delivering capacity are located outside the building , resulting in poorer indoor mobile performance . Demand for true 5G with gigabit speeds will be near impossible to deliver indoors without building dedicated indoor networks .
“ Owners of commercial real estate want to be able to deliver the best possible digital infrastructure , and 5G is considered a critical part of this ” said Mikael Lundman , Proptivity CEO . “ Gigabit 5G capabilities in the building will enable a digital innovation platform that will offer opportunities like energy optimisation , security and workplace efficiency for the building facilities and tenants . atNorth ’ s commitment to sustainability , including its focus on implementing initiatives like heat recovery to contribute to the circular economy , was essential for our selection of atNorth .”
“ Its ability to reuse generated heat for Stockholm residents as well as its innovative use of northern hemisphere air to cool down their facility has proven

to create great energy savings as compared to traditional centres , is also an extremely important factor for us ,” said Lundman . “ Working with atNorth aligns with our goal to build a more energy efficient and environmentally sustainable future together with the real estate owners .”
Proptivity ’ s shared infrastructure solution will enable a more sustainable world by reducing energy and resource consumption by more than 50 % compared to traditional in-building solutions . atNorth builds data centres in the Nordics , strategically located where the rate of renewable energy is at its highest and regions can cater for the best energy efficiency . Its sites are built from the ground up to ensure energy use is minimised across every campus , with natural air-cooling systems that harness the cool climate to ensure optimal temperature and humidity levels at all facilities .
“ Property owners and tenants need secure and fast connectivity indoors , especially with data consumption growing at an explosive rate ,” said Duke Aschan , Sales Director of atNorth . �
