SFN contributes to progressively increasing Switzerland's FTTH network expansion in order to reach the long-term goal of almost complete coverage, benefiting the entire Swiss population.
Milestone
Daniel Alber, project manager of EnerCom Kirchberg AG, says: "The comprehensive fibre optic development in Kirchberg BE was a milestone for our community. As a cooperation partner of Swisscom Switzerland AG, we have created a modern infrastructure that now provides our residents with access to a stable and ultra-fast fibre optic network. This expansion was crucial to keep pace with advancing digitalisation. Thanks to the successful collaboration with Swiss Fibre Net AG (SFN), the telecom providers Salt and Sunrise now also serve the residents of Kirchberg."
Digital Ecosystems
Andreas Waber, CEO of Swiss Fibre Net AG, comments: "It's not just about pure fibre optic networks, but about holistic ecosystems. Consider the planning of a new data centre: without potential fibre optic connectivity, no data centre is built today. Providers of massively scalable cloud computing services, as well as co-location operators, rely on stable networks to deliver their services to the end customer. End customers, whether private or business, only benefit when both sides interact. New technologies such as AI further increase the pressure, and the data volumes are exploding, necessitating powerful fibre optic backbones. Thus, these are not isolated silos of products and offerings, but digital ecosystems."
