Swisscom invests in progressive solutions in a number of areas in order to continuously tap into new growth opportunities and offer its customers the best services and products:

  • Identity Access Management: In a world full of virtual products and services, a digital identity can be a useful tool. It makes life simpler by replacing a large number of passwords with a single, simple user ID. Swisscom is currently drawing up the foundations for such a digital identity and for concrete applications.
  • Voice over LTE (VoLTE)/WLAN interworking: The 4G/LTE network is currently a dedicated data network, with customers being transferred to the 3G network for calls. With VoLTE, Swisscom is aiming to enable the use of voice telephony via 4G, with a technical adjustment to the mobile infrastructure also allowing voice telephony via WLAN. Customers will be able to enjoy faster connection times and improved voice quality.
  • Clean Pipe: Under the working title “Clean Pipe” Swisscom is trialling new ways of making digital life simpler for customers and protecting them against dangers and bad experiences, such as phishing. In the year under review, Swisscom launched the first product, Safe Connect: an app based on VPN technology that blocks access to websites considered to be dangerous, and to malware. 
  • Cloud: Swisscom is developing a 360-degree Cloud with a unified architecture that offers companies and private individuals a wide range of services. Thanks to state-of-the-art technologies, open source, the latest security concepts and data storage in Switzerland, Swisscom is leading the way in cloud computing.
