Switzerland's Sunrise UPC announced that it will switch off the 2G network from 03 January next year.
Customers will only be affected by the deactivation in isolated cases, since only a very small proportion of them still use the corresponding devices. Sunrise has informed affected customers in a letter and will support them in switching to new solutions with a modern mobile communications standard (4G, 5G). Customers can obtain advice both in Sunrise shops (e.g., SIM card and device switches) and for B2B solutions (large companies from the account manager, small companies via 058 777 00 00).
The process of replacing old mobile communications standards with the new and more efficient generations is part of routine technological development. Sunrise is planning to discontinue the 3G standard, which is also becoming increasingly outdated, in the next three to four years.
Sunrise already provides more than 1,048 towns and villages with high-speed 5G (up to 2 Gbit/s) and over 96.7% of the population with basic 5G (up to 1 Gbit/s).
