84 Grams scales business-critical connectivity in northern Sweden

About the company

84 Grams is a Swedish Internet service provider established in 2019 and built from the outset for business and enterprise customers. Rather than serving a broad consumer market, the company has focused on organizations that treat connectivity as business-critical infrastructure, delivering Internet connectivity, Ethernet EVPL point-to-point services, and DDoS protection with the reliability, performance, and responsiveness those customers require.

Headquartered in Umeå, with additional offices in Skellefteå and Sundsvall, 84 Grams employs 17 people. The company continues to expand its footprint across northern Sweden, one of Europe’s fastest-growing regions for data centers and digital infrastructure.

The challenge

To support its growth ambitions and enterprise-focused business model, 84 Grams needed a network foundation that could deliver exceptional reliability and scalability from day one. Its customers rely on high-quality connectivity for mission-critical applications, making network availability essential for trust and service quality.

At the same time, bandwidth demand is growing at an unprecedented pace. Driven by AI adoption, cloud services, and data-intensive workloads, customer requirements have evolved from 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps connections to 100 Gbps, 400 Gbps, and even 800 Gbps services.

In northern Sweden, this trend is further fueled by the growth of data centers, access to natural cooling resources, and competitive energy costs, creating both significant opportunities and increasing pressure to scale network infrastructure quickly.

The solution

Arelion has supported 84 Grams from the very beginning – the first router in 84 Grams’ network was connected through Arelion. That early decision shaped the service 84 Grams is able to offer today: every customer connection is built on a network with the quality, global reach, and capacity to carry business-critical traffic without compromise.

Compared with other providers, three qualities make a direct difference to 84 Grams’ customers:

  • Network quality – low latency and consistent performance that customers notice in their day-to-day applications
  • Capacity – headroom to upgrade customers from 10 Gbps to 100 Gbps and beyond without re-engineering the network
  • Customer support – fast, direct access to engineers, so 84 Grams can resolve issues for its own customers quickly

84 Grams works with additional network providers to ensure redundancy and resilience for its customers, but the majority of its traffic and capacity runs across Arelion’s network.

As customer bandwidth requirements continue to grow, Arelion’s scalable network allows 84 Grams to say yes to larger and more demanding customers, upgrading capacity as their needs change while keeping the performance those businesses depend on.

Results

Over the years, Arelion has helped 84 Grams consistently deliver on its network quality promise – a result visible in the company’s own routing patterns, where the majority of traffic to major destinations flows through Arelion’s transit ports.

With Arelion in its network, 84 Grams can give customers the confidence that their business-critical connectivity will perform as expected, helping the company maintain consistently high customer satisfaction.

And as AI and data-intensive applications continue to raise customer expectations, Arelion gives 84 Grams the capacity headroom to meet those demands and keep growing.

What the customer says

“Arelion has been part of our network from day one. Their quality, reach, and responsiveness give us the confidence to deliver business-critical connectivity to customers who depend on performance every day.”
