Sunrise first to launch Mobile Private Network (MPN) over 5G together with Nokia

«With its Mobile Private Network over 5G, Sunrise becomes a leading network operator in Switzerland in providing companies with private, wholly self-sufficient networks on their own business premises. Our customers will benefit from our core competencies in planning, building and running a world-leading mobile network offering the highest possible standards of security», says Robert Redeleanu, Chief Business Officer at Sunrise. «By fully connecting employees, equipment, processes and applications, this MPN solution from Sunrise Business paves the way for companies to continue their transformation towards their next level of digital business.»

Dedicated Mobile Private Networks (MPNs) ensure that critical operational data never leaves the company’s own infrastructure, ensuring the highest possible level of security in communication between employees, equipment and the various company locations.

This is made possible by mobile communications systems installed on the company premises. They provide all the advantages of the 5G mobile standard: high speeds at the fiber-optic level and low-latency data transmission. This enables uninterrupted real-time communication as well as impressive Internet-of-Things (IoT) capacities of up to 1 million connected devices per square kilometer. In addition, Sunrise also offers customers dedicated service management and guaranteed service level agreements (SLAs).

First MPN collaboration with renowned technology partner Nokia

To offer its dedicated MPN solution, Sunrise is working with Nokia, one of the leading technology partner. Sunrise is a certified Nokia Partner and has excellent access to the company’s solutions, expertise and resources.

Stephane Haulbert, Nokia Global Partner Sales Europe: "We’re excited to welcome Sunrise Business into our broad ecosystem of partners. By working with Sunrise we can expand our reach and transform industries with our leading-edge communication solutions, making enterprises more productive, more secure, and better protected».

Nokia has deployed mission-critical networks to more than 2,600 leading corporate customers in the transport, energy, large-enterprise, manufacturing, Webscale and public-sector segments around the globe. It has also extended its expertise to more than 560 large private wireless customers worldwide across an array of sectors and has been cited by numerous industry analysts as the leading provider of private wireless networking worldwide.

«We’re very pleased to be the first Swiss network operator that partners with Nokia to offer our customers this MPN solution. Among other things, we benefit from Nokia’s comprehensive partner ecosystem, which includes providers of well-known applications, devices and domains», adds Robert Redeleanu.

First projects started

Sunrise has already begun implementing Mobile Private Networks for several companies, with a proof of concept currently underway at Syngenta. MPNs will form the basis for new applications in smart factories, for example. Sunrise wants to provide the best possible support for companies as they transition to smarter and more digital business. Other areas where MPNs can be used include logistics, manufacturing, healthcare and construction.

In addition to its dedicated Mobile Private Network solution, Sunrise is also adopting the Hybrid Mobile Private Network and other approaches and will roll out these solutions gradually, depending on customer needs, and support customers with targeted advice and tailored solutions.
