FTTB is mainly used in larger apartment blocks.įor FTTC, Swisscom installs the fibre-optic cables up to the distributor (local exchange or neighbourhood distribution box). Bandwidths of up to 100 Mbit/s can be used currently. With this technology, fibre-optic cables are installed up to the building. Examples of DSL technologies are ADSL or VDSL. This boosts the Internet speed of copper lines with fast 4G mobile Internet, increasing Internet speeds by up to 50 Mbit/s for residential customers, depending on package.ĭSL is the generic term for the transmission technology via subscriber access lines that are made completely or partially from copper. Swisscom has also developed an Internet receiver for 4G (LTE) mobile telephony known as the Internet Booster. The higher the bandwidth, the more information units (bits) that can be transferred per unit of time (seconds) (bit/s, kbit/s, Mbit/s).ĭSL + LTE Bonding bundles the bandwidths of fixed and mobile networks to produce higher speeds for customers. The bandwidth indicates the transmission capacity of a medium, also known as the download speed. With all the IP services within Switzerland running on Swisscom's own network, it guarantees higher security and availability than other voice service providers on the World Wide Web. In the medium to long term, Swisscom is migrating all existing communication networks to IP so that it can provide all telecommunications services (telephony, data transmission, TV, mobile telephony etc.) across IP. Thanks to the universal All IP network, devices and services communicate with each other and share data. Telephone calls are transferred in data packets instead of analogue signals, as is already the case for Internet services. All IP means that all services, such as TV, Internet or even fixed network telephones, run on the same IT network. All IP is the technology behind a universal network (copper and fibre optics) based on the Internet Protocol (IP).
