It's a collaboration between county transport companies in Jönköping, Kalmar, Halland, Blekinge, Kronoberg, and Skåne, with trains currently run by SJ Krösa. The network spans from Hässleholm in the south to Linköping in the north, and Halmstad in the west to Kalmar in the east, serving numerous destinations in between.
