Swisscom (OTCMKTS:SCMWY) is Switzerland’s leading telecommunications provider, offering a comprehensive range of communication and information technology services. Established in 1998 as the successor to the country’s federal postal, telegraph and telephone monopoly, Swisscom has evolved into a modern, customer-focused company with a majority stake held by the Swiss Confederation. Headquartered in Ittigen, near Bern, Swisscom serves as a critical infrastructure operator in one of Europe’s most connected markets.
The company’s core activities span fixed-line and mobile telecommunications, high-speed broadband internet, and digital TV services for residential customers. In the business and wholesale segments, Swisscom delivers end-to-end ICT solutions, including data center services, cloud computing, cybersecurity, managed networks and Internet of Things (IoT) applications. This integrated approach allows Swisscom to support enterprises of all sizes in their digital transformation journeys while maintaining a broad product portfolio for end consumers.
Beyond Switzerland, Swisscom maintains a strategic presence in Italy through its subsidiary Fastweb, one of the country’s major fibre-optic network operators. The group also extends certain services into Liechtenstein and partners with international carriers for roaming and wholesale connectivity. Its investments in next-generation infrastructure—particularly 5G mobile networks and nationwide fibre rollout—underscore Swisscom’s commitment to long-term network excellence and digital innovation.
Governed by a board of directors and an executive committee, Swisscom emphasizes high service quality, sustainability and technological leadership.
