Why We Invested in Allicon

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, high-performance connectivity is no longer optional for commercial and public buildings, it’s a necessity. With tenants increasingly dependent on seamless internet access for everything from cloud computing to IoT applications, property owners must equip their buildings with future-proof infrastructure to remain competitive.

The need for robust, reliable, and secure connectivity has never been greater. However, traditional building infrastructure is often inadequate to support these demands. In >90% of multi-tenant buildings, tenants are responsible for securing their own internet service, requiring each to bring in its own Internet Service Provider (ISP) wiring and other hardware. This outdated approach leads to inefficiencies in quality and administration, increased security risks, and unreliable connectivity performance from the outset.

This also leads to a higher climate footprint in buildings, as well as a loss of control for property owners.

💥 Enter Allicon, an in-building connectivity provider at the forefront of this transformation, delivering operator-neutral fiber and 5G indoor solutions that ensure reliable, high-speed connectivity for modern buildings. Allicon solves connectivity challenges by handling the installation process and ensuring that the building owner keeps ownership of the hardware, rather than the telecom provider.

Operator-Neutral Solutions Enhancing Flexibility

Allicon's operator-neutral approach empowers tenants to connect with their preferred Internet Service Providers without the need for extensive installations. How?

📶 Allicon builds open networks, enabling internet providers and mobile operators to deliver services directly to the property owners and suppliers, tenants and visitors. With Allicon’s fiber infrastructure, new tenants don’t have to call an ISP and have them drag fiber to their respective unit. Instead, tenants can connect directly to their ISP through the open building network. By deploying, operating and managing high-capacity indoor optical fiber networks, they increase the property’s value and overall attractiveness - facilitating digitalization, efficient property management and attractive tenant solutions. Allicon oversees, monitors, and ensures that networks and active services perform in each property, regardless of whether it is fiber, 5G or WiFi.

This approach enables property owners to integrate new technologies seamlessly without being tied to a single telecom provider, ensuring long-term adaptability and innovation.

Addressing the Challenges of Indoor Connectivity

Over 80% of mobile phone usage occurs indoors, yet traditional 5G frequencies often struggle to penetrate building materials, leading to poor indoor coverage. This challenge is exacerbated by modern energy-efficient constructions designed to minimize external signal intrusion. Allicon addresses this issue by deploying indoor networks for 5G based on fiber, ensuring that tenants experience consistent and high-quality connectivity regardless of their location within a building.

PropView® - The Automated Tool for In-Building Connectivity Empowerment

Moreover, Allicon has developed an innovative software platform, PropView®, enabling building owners to gain complete control over the digital infrastructure – everything from management and service agreements to network documentation is handled and updated in real-time. This ensures security, simplicity, and higher quality at every stage:

• Comprehensive support throughout the property lifecycle
• Integration capabilities with leading systems
• User-friendly and accessible documentation
• Full control and real-time updates
• Secure and quality-assured installation

PropView® makes property management easier, smarter, and more efficient.

Well-Positioned to Capture the 5G Opportunity

Allicon is also architecting and building 5G private networks as part of its indoor-5G offering, with main focus on neutral host and private networks to healthcare. In healthcare and MedTech, the added value for example consist of: faster and safer transfer of medical data, better monitoring of patients, better real-time streaming between surgeons and students, as well as cleaner operating theatres thanks to connected robots.

According to Straits Research, the private 5G Network Market was valued to 1.3B USD in 2021 and is rapidly growing (expected to have a CAGR of 40-50% between 2020-2030), presenting this a unique opportunity.

6 Advantages of In-building Fiber to Users:

1. High-capacity connectivity
2. More reliable and stable network
3. Partial property connectivity offer increased safety and prevent collective outages in the event of maintenance or defaults
4. Ability to digitize building and have the tenant control its IoT on a tenant-level
5. Provides flexibility through an open access network, allowing any service provider to seamlessly utilize the infrastructure. Alternatively, each service provider operates its own dedicated network cable from the street-level entry point
6. Comes with management tool (with Allicon)
