Waystream operates in the telecommunications sector helping its customers to build next generation fibre networks. The head office is located in Kista, with staff in Sweden, China, and India and offices in Hamburg and Shanghai. The product portfolio includes switches and routers adapted for the fibre market and associated peripherals, technical support, training, and consulting. Our customer base and target customers are city networks, operators, and real estate companies that own and operate their fibre networks in the Nordic region and Central Europe. Waystream is currently the Nordic market leader in its segment. Most of our production occurs in Sweden, and our switches are climate compensated and thus carbon-neutral. Products are considered to be carbon neutral when their greenhouse gas emissions are measured and compensated for by supporting internationally recognized carbon dioxide CO2 compensation projects. More information about our project can be found under our Sustainability section.

Since 2015, the company is listed on NASDAQ First North under the ticker WAYS.

Our vision is a connected world where ideas and knowledge can cross borders and lead to new discoveries. Innovation that makes our lives better and improves the way we work and live.

Fibre networks and the unlimited communication they enable is the core infrastructure needed to realize our vision. Building this new infrastructure certainly have its challenges - it is a journey that will take many years to complete. Laying the fibre is just the beginning. The real journey starts as the network begin to fill up with services - the decades to come of operating a great network that meet user expectations to deliver what it promises.

That is why we see it as our mission to make that journey as effective as possible.

Waystream creates network products fit for FTTH that are reliable, easier to operate and delivers great services. This means that the network can be built faster with better return on investment, more satisfied end-users and a more robust solution.

When the network is easier to operate it saves money and time. When the network is reliable it can be trusted with demanding services allowing innovation to grow. When the network delivers great services it simply works to meet all user needs.

Fibre networks are not like every other network. That is why we build our products to specifically cater to the needs of FTTH.

We provide switches, routers and related accessories that lets business and residential services be delivered over fiber infrastructure.

OUR HISTORY

Waystream was founded in 2001 with the vision of building the digital infrastructure of the future. Since then, we have developed and sold advanced access switches and routers, specifically designed for the FTTx market. Our products are used both in the establishment of new fiber networks and for upgrades of existing networks.

Today, we are the market leader in the city network segment in the Nordics and have a growing customer base in Central Europe. Our customers include city networks, operators, and property owners—ranging from smaller local networks to major international players such as Telia Company, Telenor Group, and DNA in Finland.

Since our listing on Nasdaq First North under the name WAYS on November 12, 2015, Waystream has continued to grow and evolve. Our business model is scalable and built on a strong partner network, with production in Sweden through NOTE AB in Lund. This provides both flexibility and sustainability in our supply chain.

Sustainability is a cornerstone of our business. Since July 2022, all our access switches have been 100% climate compensated. We are affiliated with the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) with the goal of reducing our emissions by 42% by 2030 and achieving net zero by 2050. Our products are WEEE-marked, and we use third-party verified climate contribution labels with full transparency.

We actively work to reduce our environmental impact through energy-efficient solutions, shorter transport routes, and production using green electricity. Our sustainability plan also includes social engagement and gender equality, with the goal of achieving a 50/50 gender distribution throughout the organization.

In 2021, we launched four new product series that were well received by the market. Since then, we have continued to invest in product development, including optics, where we offer some of the most energy-efficient optical components on the market.

From 2021 to 2024, we conducted an extensive field trial together with our customer Lunet as part of a major pan-European research program. We analyzed data using AI from more than 1,000 switches with the aim of increasing availability and simplifying operations.

Waystream is well equipped for the future. With a clear sustainability profile, increasing market share, and a growing presence outside the Nordics —particularly in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland—we are ready to meet tomorrow's needs for fast, secure, and sustainable digital infrastructure.
