Private telco CLOUD[Swisscom, Switzerland]

Ericsson and Swisscom

entered a strategic

partnership to build the most

cost-effective, reliable and

flexible private telco cloud

architecture in order to

migrate all Swisscom mobile

services and build new

convergent services. Private

telco cloud is an essential

pillar of Swisscom’s

competitiveness.

We have such trust in our partnership with Ericsson that

we believe our private telco cloud and network

virtualization will be completed over the next few years",

said Heinz Herren at Ericsson-Swisscom Joint Mobile

Day. “Our goal is that most mobile and fixed network

functions will be virtualized by 2020"
