Our Mission
We firmly believe in fiber infrastructure as an investment in society – an asset that should be made available for all kinds of services and service providers, and for all citizens. The way we see it, high-speed Internet access is an essential foundation for modern society. It provides the means to study, work from home, conduct bank errands and virtual doctors appointments, as well as consuming video, music and other cultural outputs. But it also enables people to share information, in the form of text, video, visuals and so on, and take part in the public debate.

In light of the above, our mission is obvious: To help bring affordable FTTH to everyone, everywhere.

OUR HISTORY
Everything begins somewhere, and our beginning was in the north of Sweden. COS Business engine was founded in 2008, which is not that long ago but in the infancy of fiber infrastructure technology. In 2009 the Swedish parliament ratified a government order that in 2020, 90 % of all households should have access to high speed internet, symmetrical 100 Mbit/s. Due to a very successful development the goal was raised in 2016, so that 95% should have 100 Mbit/s in 2020 and in 2025 98% of the swedish households should have access to 1Gbit/s (1,9% should have 100Mbit/s and 0,1% at least 30Mbit/s).
Read MoreThis digital evolution in Sweden has only been possible due to the very high grade of automation of the fiber business and with an Open Access approach where take rates often exceed 80% and customers have a variety of providers to choose from, or being able to keep their existing provider independently of who builds the fiber network.
Swedish society has also become more digital native and being able to work from home was not a problem when Covid came. Sweden is also very high ranked in the tech industry with famous companies like Spotify, Klarna, Mojang, King, Skype, IZettle, Truecaller etc etc
It is in this context COS was built up and has been focusing in developing a software to support this nationwide rollout of a new high speed and robust digital infrastructure in Sweden. With the same focus and vision from day one COS now supports other countries all around the globe with similar challenges.
THIS IS US
Humble beginnings can sometimes be the best way to start great things. In our case it has to do with the spirit of entrepreneurship, the will to leave our safe haven behind and set out on adventure.
As our history can testify we have never been afraid to take a leap of faith – and so far our faith in our products and in our approach to making FTTH affordable has been justified. That is why we have dedicated ourselves to FTTH in particular, when many of our competitors in the BSS/OSS business have chosen a more diversified route.
Read MoreOur capacity for innovation comes from us paying close attention to our customers’ needs and best practice from market leaders. But another source of innovation is our vast experience in an industry that is relatively young. We were part of Sweden’s early, world leading fiber expansion and that is how we have gained insight into the details that can make or break our customers’ businesses.
We endeavour to enable FTTH operators to meet their customers’ demand for affordable broadband that they can buy online and start to use seconds later. The beauty with this is also that it improves their return on investment and reduces the financial risk associated with a FTTH venture.
Our experience has taught us that an Open Access business model with Zero-touch automation usually is the best way to succeed, and that has determined our focus. That said, our product can absolutely support a single provider that wants to be “Open Access ready” as well as Open Access with an open marketplace or in a wholesale configuration.
But at the end of the day our guiding light and most important vision is always: To bridge the digital divide and bring affordable FTTH to everyone, everywhere.
