Internet over 5G for business customers
With immediate effect, business customers at Swisscom can install a fixed Internet connection for their business sites via mobile communications using 5G FWA (Fixed Wireless Access). This means that business customers without an Internet connection can easily integrate one or more sites into the site networking via 5G FWA.
Whether for remote buildings that do not benefit from the usual network expansion due to their location or for temporarily used business locations that do not have an Internet connection: For this situation, Swisscom offers 5G FWA (Fixed Wireless Access), a connection to the super-fast ultra-broadband network via mobile communications, replacing the Internet via the fixed network connection. Friederike Hoffmann, Head of Connected Business Solutions at Swisscom, says of the Internet via 5G: "5G FWA offers our business customers great potential. This means they benefit from the fastest Internet at their locations and are ready to take full advantage of all services."
Internet via 5G with additional benefits
Thanks to Swisscom's "Enterprise Connect" network solution, customers without a fiber or copper connection can easily integrate one or more business sites into their site networking via 5G FWA. This makes this telecoms service provider the only provider in Switzerland to offer customers cloud-based networking of business sites with a fixed wireless access solution via 5G, according to the company. Swisscom is using FWA to complement its fixed network infrastructure, increasing the availability of ultra-broadband. But 5G FWA can do even more: the solution can also be used as a 5G mobile backup (failover). In this case, the Internet connection is ensured via a fiber-optic or copper connection. 5G FWA intervenes as a failover - the connection is additionally secured via the mobile network.
Easy to use
The prerequisite for using 5G FWA is mobile coverage with 5G or 4G. Swisscom's 5G network, which has won several awards as the best in Switzerland, is available to the population for 99%. The faster version 5G+ is currently available for over 70%. Setup requires a small receiver, Nokia's 5G Mobile Toolkit; this is mounted on the outside of the building. The toolkit connects to the cellular antenna to establish a wireless data connection to the Swisscom network. Business customers can use 5G FWA with Enterprise Connect as 5G Mobile Access or as an option 5G Mobile Backup.
