Background

Public housing companies own large numbers of similar apartments, which should make them the ideal customer for digital services, yet in 2014 almost every such service required its own cabling, its own gateway and its own supplier agreement, so the cost per apartment stayed high and little got built.

The project developed an open platform to break that pattern: shared network infrastructure and a common service platform that many service providers could deliver through, plus a business model for who pays for what.

Results

The project delivered an integrated solution of open network, service platform and business model, and drew considerable interest across the public housing sector, indicating potential well beyond the initial scope.

Coordinated by Växjöbostäder AB with Sensative, Lund University and MAPCI as partners, funded by Vinnova with just under 1.5 MSEK through the Tjänstelyftet programme.
