Swiss Operator Sunrise announced that it will be the first provider worldwide to launch the next generation of smartphone gaming, together with its platform partner Gamestream in November.
With the Sunrise Game Cloud 5G app, Sunrise will offer the first ever 4K gaming experience via 5G, which can also be used with the HTC 5G Hub. The Sunrise Game Cloud app offers 50 high-end console games, including popular games such as Tomb Raider, DiRT Rally (in 4K), and Roland Garros Tennis World Tour 2019 Edition, at a flat rate of CHF 9.90 per month for 5G smartphones. Sunrise 5G customers can already register in advance at http://www.sunrise.ch/en/gaming, and will receive a free smartphone gaming controller as our way of saying thanks.
The Operator has extended its 5G coverage to over 309 towns/cities in all of Switzerland. This figure only includes areas where 5G coverage reaches at least 80% of the local population, says the Operator.
With “5G for People”, Sunrise is focusing on replacing slow DSL connections in areas where fiber optics and cable networks are not available for households and companies, and on mobile use with 5G smartphones. To meet the demand for fast broadband Internet, Sunrise is currently expanding “real 5G” in the 3.5 GHz range with up to 2 Gbit/s. In terms of quality, this offers a good alternative for replacing slow landline connections. For now, Sunrise isn’t expanding 5G in existing frequencies (700 MHz to 2600 MHz).
Olaf Swantee, CEO, Sunrise
When it comes to 5G, Switzerland is far ahead of the rest of Europe. We’re proud to make our contribution by offering the largest 5G network. We focus on quality and aim to provide real, fast 5G through our continued rollout.
