N0R5KE FIBRE AS
Build - Invest - Own - Operate - Long Haul FiberNetworks
N0r5ke Fibre is a Norwegian digital infrastructure company, founded by Norwegian entrepreneurs Anders and Bjørn Vik.
N0r5ke Fibre build, own and operate long haul fiber infrastructure between major Norwegian cities, data centres and communication hubs. As a neutral and independent company we lease out dark fiber on equal terms to operators and customers needing their own physical fiber routes. Our aim is to make dark fiber as available as possible to a wide customer base via both OPEX-type leasing and long-term IRUs.
The backbone fibre build-out is financed and originated through N0r5ke Fibre.

It connect Western Norway’s main business centres, Data Centres, communication hubs. N0r5ke Viking is a valuable data-transport link as several new international subsea cables have been built to connect Norway directly to the US, UK, Ireland and Denmark with low latency connections to large IXs.
