About us

The most important connections start close to home and connect you to the world

That idea inspired us more than 100 years ago, when we began building connections across Kainuu and Upper Savonia. We built them so we could reach the world, and so the world could reach us.

It still guides us today. It’s why our high-speed fibre optic network already covers a large part of the region, and why we continue to expand it.

Reliable connections support the vitality of our region by helping businesses succeed and making everyday life easier. Through smart, sustainable solutions, we support digital growth and give people access to the services they need, and the freedom to live, work, and build a future where they choose.

As a cooperative-owned company, Kaisanet belongs to the people of Kainuu and Savonia. Our role is to build something that benefits everyone. Through fibre optics, we connect rural communities with cities, living rooms with the wider world, and generations with one another. We build fast, reliable, and lasting connections that bring people closer together.

Connections that make us one.

Our values and vision

Care, partnership, renewal

Our vision is to strengthen the competitiveness of our operating area and support its long-term success. As a company owned by our customers, we use digital services to make everyday life work smoothly and to support those all-important moments, in homes and in businesses.

For us, the customer truly comes first. If our customers aren’t satisfied, neither are we. That’s why we put care and attention into delivering service that is reliable, responsive, and easy to deal with.

We care about the people in our workplace, our customers, our partners, and the environment around us. Through strong partnerships, we work to support the wellbeing and vitality of our regions and to build the future together.
