At the start of 2016 both partners agreed an innovation cooperation for fixed-network broadband and founded the “La Werkstadt” innovation house in Biel.

Huawei offers innovative and tailored enterprise products and solutions, while Swisscom provides excellent service: our customers will definitely benefit from this partnership.”

Swisscom’s current range will continue to be available, but will now be supplemented by products and solutions from Huawei. Partnerships with current suppliers will also remain unchanged.
