About our guest
As chief evangelist at Arelion, Mattias Fridström is passionate about networking. A nearly 30-year veteran of the service provider, Fridström not only has insights into the networked economy but also into the challenges network providers will face tomorrow in meeting ever-increasing traffic demand and customer quality expectations within the same cost framework. However, his passion extends beyond networks: he has played professional golf and competed at the national level in football and in-line hockey (the Swedish name for floorball).
