Sunrise - Switzerland

Sunrise Switzerland uses UMTS band B1 (2100 MHz). This band is deployed for UMTS services.

Sunrise Switzerland uses UMTS band B8 (900 MHz GSM). This frequency band was removed from Sunrise Switzerland in 2024.

Sunrise Switzerland uses LTE band B3 (1800 MHz +). The deployment of this frequency band is part of their LTE network, which is widely used in Europe, APAC, MEA, and selected countries in South America. It has become a core band for LTE deployments globally, supporting over 46% of all LTE or LTE-Advanced network operators worldwide.

Sunrise Switzerland uses LTE B7 (2600 MHz) for its mobile network. This frequency band is utilized to enhance network capacity and support high-speed data services.

Sunrise Switzerland uses the LTE B20 (800 MHz DD) frequency band for its LTE network deployments. This band is particularly known for its wide area coverage and deep penetration, making it suitable for regional and rural environments, as well as in-building coverage. It is also popular for IoT applications like eMTC (LTE Cat M1) and NB-IoT (LTE Cat NB1) due to its wide coverage characteristics. The 800 MHz band does not easily support Massive MIMO and beamforming technologies due to its large wavelength. It can be used as a single band or as part of a multi-band network, and it supports carrier aggregation with other bands to enhance bandwidth and performance.

Sunrise Switzerland uses LTE Band 28 (700 MHz APT) for its 4G LTE network. This band operates between 703 MHz and 803 MHz, supporting full-duplex frequency division duplex (FDD) mode. The uplink frequency range is 703–748 MHz, and the downlink frequency range is 758–803 MHz. The band supports channel bandwidths of 5, 10, 15, and 20 MHz. It is widely used by public mobile operators for LTE network deployments due to its excellent propagation characteristics, which allow signals to penetrate buildings and cover larger geographic areas with less infrastructure.

Sunrise Switzerland uses the 5G NR N28 (700 MHz) frequency band. This band covers the range of 703 to 803 MHz and supports channel bandwidths of 5, 10, 15, and 20 MHz. The n28 band is known for its excellent range and building penetration due to its propagation characteristics, which are improved by advanced processing techniques. Sunrise operates the most deployed 5G network in Switzerland, providing ultra-fast connections for homes and businesses.

Sunrise Switzerland uses the 5G NR frequency band N78 (3500 MHz) for its 5G services. This band operates between 3300 to 3800 MHz and supports channel bandwidths ranging from 10 to 100 MHz. The deployment of this band is part of Sunrise's efforts to expand its 5G coverage, aiming to provide ultra-fast connections to a significant portion of the Swiss population.

Sunrise Switzerland uses the 5G NR band N80 (1800 MHz) for its 5G network. This frequency band was added to Sunrise's network in August 2024.
