Swisscom combines LTE FDD TDD for capacity boost
2015-08-20 14:21:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Swisscom has claimed a first in Europe with the use of tri-band carrier over LTE in both FDD (Frequency Division Duplex) and TDD (Time Division Duplex) modes. The demonstration used three carriers in two bands in a radio access network provided by Ericsson and commercial-grade chipsets from Qualcomm. The Swisscom Fussli shop in Zurich was the site of the commercial test. The new technology achieved speeds of up to 335 Mbps and is expected to give more users in the same cell site access to top speeds. Swisscom said it plans to upgrade its network with the technology in busy metropolitan areas by next summer, when smartphones supporting the standards should be available. Qualcomm's X12 LTE modem was used for the trial.

Swisscom faces CHF 143 mln fine over pay-TV sports offer
2015-07-23 17:00:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Switzerland's Competition Commission has proposed a fine of CHF 143 million against Swisscom for alleged violations in the marketing of sports content over pay TV. According to the regulator, Swisscom and its Teleclub service occupy a dominant market position, particularly in broadcasting Swiss national football and ice hockey events and, where technically possible, should provide all TV platforms in Switzerland with equivalent Teleclub sports programming under non-discriminatory conditions. Swisscom denies the alleged violation and regards the sanction as unjustified. Swisscom said in a statement that it will examine the 170-page draft decision from the regulator and respond to the allegations within the requested deadline. The definitive decree from ComCo can be contested at the Federal Administrative Court and ultimately with the Federal Court if necessary, Swisscom noted.
