Swisscom is systematically modernising its fixed and mobile communications infrastructure across Switzerland. Guided by its 2035 vision—offering gigabit bandwidths to everyone through fibre optics, mobile and satellite—Swisscom is building a powerful and reliable telecommunications network designed for the future. This infrastructure will underpin Swisscom’s long-term success and create the foundation for Switzerland’s digital progress.
Decommissioning of the copper network
As of the end of 2025, 56% of Switzerland’s population and businesses were connected to a fibre-optic network (Fibre to the Home – FTTH). Swisscom aims to expand coverage to between 75% and 80% by 2030. This continuous rollout will enable Swisscom to gradually phase out its copper network over the coming years, with complete decommissioning planned after 2035.
Next-generation technology
As of the end of 2025, Swisscom’s 5G network already covered around 99% of Switzerland’s population, with approximately 89% having access to 5G+ technology. Swisscom is continuing to expand its antenna sites both outdoors and indoors to enhance capacity and performance. By 2030, the ambition is to reach about 95% population coverage with 5G+. Swisscom is also preparing for the next generation of mobile technology – 6G – which is expected to deliver more autonomous, higher-quality and differentiated networks tailored to evolving customer needs.
